Overview
Trello is the original Kanban board tool — cards on lists on boards. It's the easiest project management tool to get started with and remains useful for individuals and small teams managing straightforward workflows. Acquired by Atlassian in 2017, Trello integrates with Jira and Confluence for teams in that ecosystem. Power-Ups extend functionality, though the free plan limits boards to one Power-Up each.
