Next on the list is Trello, which is a very visual approach to task management based on an Agile project management technique called Kanban. Traditionally Kanban would have involved drawing columns on an office whiteboard, giving each column a name like “To-do”, “Doing” and “Done”. Tasks would be written on sticky notes and placed in the “To-do” column. When the task was in progress the sticky note would be moved to the “Doing” column and then finally into the “Done” column when complete. 

Trello takes this concept and puts it into a digital format which can be used by individuals or teams. Everything in Trello starts with a “Board”, think of this like as the virtual whiteboard. On your boards you can add “Lists” which are columns and within the lists you can add “Cards”, which represent your tasks. Once you’ve created a “Card” you can add loads of extra information like descriptions, labels, checklists, comments and assign team members… even in the free version!

Trello is probably one of the most well known apps on the list and it remains a popular tool due to its simplicity, visual management style and wide set of features available on the free plan.
