Trello is a simple, visual task management tool built around the concept of boards, lists, and cards. Known for its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, Trello excels at organizing simple projects and personal task lists. It's widely used for its simplicity and ease of use, making it popular for teams who want basic task tracking without complexity.
THE CONSULTANT'S CHALLENGE
What Trello Can't Do for Consultants
Trello is powerful for team task management, but consultants managing multiple clients need more than organized workflows.
Tasks Without Strategy Context
Trello organizes tasks beautifully, but doesn't connect them to strategic goals or business outcomes. You're tracking activity, not measuring results.
Dashboards, Not Board Reports
Trello shows progress dashboards, but consultants need polished, board-ready reports. You still spend hours in PowerPoint every week.
Built for Teams, Not Consultants
Trello works for internal teams. Managing 5, 10, or 20+ client boards means scattered data and no portfolio view.
