Trello as a scrum/kanban tool

[Bedamati Mohanty]

I have had some time at hand and got thought of using trello app as a scrum/kanban board.

What i found interesting about it was it is very customizable! you can have a fun board and add notes like we do on actual boards and then discuss on it.Today teams being ditributed adds to the flexibility with distributed teams across different time zones.

For me this was something fun as i could also view it as a table, create it based on person and also check if a task is complete or not. Even i could create a hybrid board for members onsite and offsite so that all stakeholders had their own board to discuss. 

Think its a great tool for planning and design decisions, Root cause analysis etc as well. 

Let me know how your experience has been.

Trello is indeed a versatile tool that can be used for both Scrum and Kanban methodologies. Its flexible board layout and customizable cards make it suitable for managing tasks and workflows in various Agile frameworks.

For Scrum, Trello's boards can represent sprints, with cards representing user stories or tasks that move across stages like backlog, to-do, in progress, and done. Teams can use labels, due dates, and checklists to track progress and prioritize work efficiently.

Similarly, Trello's Kanban boards allow teams to visualize workflow stages and limit work in progress, making it effective for continuous delivery and optimizing flow.

However, while Trello offers basic Agile features, it may lack some advanced functionalities specific to Scrum or Kanban, such as burndown charts, velocity tracking, or automated workflows.

For teams looking for a more robust solution tailored specifically for Agile Project Management, Jira is an excellent choice and you can also explore other tools like Vabro, Trello, etc. It's a SaaS tool that supports Kanban and Scrumboard, providing comprehensive features to facilitate Agile Project Management. With Vabro, teams can successfully deliver Scrum Projects and achieve better ROI through improved collaboration and productivity.
