Boards, Unito, and Workflow

[Lee Allen]

My team and I just decided on Trello for our project management tool. Does it make sense to have a social media board, promo board, email board etc and then have one master marketing board to link the final card to? If so, is how do I add one card from a board to a new board with unito?

What are some ways other teams set up departments and all of the categories that go along with that department? I want to make sure everything stays organized and am looking for suggestions on best options. Thanks!

@Lee Allen quite often if you're just getting started I think you're sometimes better off putting things on one board and then using labels and filters to show only cards relevant to a particular deparment, I wrote about this here:

As things become more complicated you can split things out into new boards, I like to use a "board of boards" approach where each board is linked from a card in a master/overview board, I rarely see the value in synching cards between 2 boards except in the case of creating a personal overview board to replace Trello's "Cards View" where you can't re-order/reprioritise the cards, ie. when a member is added to a card, creating a linked copy in their personal board.

Side note, if you're looking to have an email board you might like my product BenkoDesk:
