Create a board first for each major project. 12 | 13 | - Lists: Lists are columns on a board that represent different stages or phases of your project. Common lists might include "To Do," "In Progress," "Testing," and "Done." 14 | 15 | - Cards: Cards are individual tasks or items within a list. Each card can contain details, comments, attachments, due dates, and more. 16 | 17 | ## Let's see how it works practically 18 | 19 | 1. Create a Board: Log in to Trello and click on the '+' icon to create a new board. Name your board (e.g., "Project X") and add team members. 20 | 21 | 2. Create Lists: Once your board is created, add lists that represent the workflow or stages of your project. For example: To Do, In Progress, Testing, Done. 22 | 23 | 3. Add Cards: In each list, add cards for specific tasks or items that need to be addressed. Click on a list, then click '+ Add a card' to create a new task. 24 | 25 | 4. Assign Members: Assign team members to cards by opening the card and adding them to the "Members" section. 26 | 27 | 5. Due Dates: Set due dates for tasks by clicking on a card and selecting a due date. This helps in keeping everyone aware of deadlines. 28 | 29 | 6. Labels: Use labels to categorize or prioritize cards. 30 | For example, you can use labels for different types of tasks (bug, feature, documentation). 31 | 32 | 7. Comments and Attachments: Communicate within cards by adding comments. Attach relevant files or links to cards for easy reference. 33 | 34 | 8. Checklists: Break down tasks into smaller steps using checklists within cards. 35 | 36 | ## Collaborate Effectively 37 | 38 | 1. Notifications: Customize your notification settings to stay informed about changes. Trello sends notifications about due dates, comments, and more. 39 | 40 | 2. Power-Ups: Explore Trello Power-Ups to integrate with other tools like Google Drive, Slack, and more. 41 | 42 | 3. Calendar View: Use the calendar view to get a timeline perspective of due dates. 43 | 44 | 4. Drag-and-Drop: Trello is built for simplicity. Drag and drop cards between lists to update their status. 45 | 46 | 5. Board Background: Customize the board background to make it visually appealing and distinct. 47 | 48 | ## Tips 49 | 50 | 1. Regular Updates: Encourage team members to regularly update the status of their tasks. 51 | 52 | 2. Meetings: Use Trello in team meetings to discuss progress and upcoming tasks. 53 | 54 | 3.
