Since you might have at a time, say, four sprints on your Trello board, then all of the sudden those ‘Sprint 2’, ‘Sprint 3’, ‘Sprint 4’ and ‘Sprint 5’ containers that line up your Trello board from left to right, well, they collectively make a quasi-timeline. Now at least you can order: ‘In the upcoming week (or two weeks) you, Josh and Matthew, are expected to complete task A, task B and task C’. Sprints in Scrum usually last two weeks but – more importantly – they have to be of the same length, or cadence, from sprint to sprint be it one, two, three or four weeks. This one is called Scrum and is slightly more appropriate for the large projects. Now let’s suppose you have 100’s of tasks in your project and 50 team members…īacklog – Sprint 2 – Sprint 3 – … – Done in Sprint 1 With Kanban boards they can’t really tell what in fact they should be focused on on September 29th and what they are expected to do tomorrow. and your staff has just arrived at the workplace.

Now let’s suppose today is the 29th of September, 9 a.m.

Since there is no timeline, you, a project manager cannot let the assignees know that they are expected to start working on that task on the 1st of October. All you can do on the Kanban Trello board is setting the due date. Imagine it is mid-September today and you need to schedule a task for 1st to 4th October.

the Kanban board is usually too ‘coarse’ for projects with 10 or 20 team members.

What’s are the downsides of using this approach for a large project? Say, you might have five Trello boards: one for each of your four projects and the fifth one for the marketing team that works on their ‘perpetual’ project ) Instead of one board, you could obviously have a few of them, each representing a single project or a single team. Perhaps the time has come to move that task to the top of the ‘To do’ list ) You’ve kept that ‘Refresh the design of my store’ task in the ‘To do’ container for years. That’s basically it!Įxample: you are an e-store owner and you’re seeing stagnation in your sales. You prioritize tasks by sliding them up or down in the ‘To do’ and ‘In progress’ columns.

In fact, chances are Trello itself will create the To do/Doing/Done containers when you set up your first board.

All you need is to set up ‘To do’, ‘In progress’ and ‘Done’ containers on your Trello board. The most popular and simple pattern Trello users follow is called Kanban board. Kanban board is the most simplistic project management methodology for Trello.
