Daniel I wonder what you think about this task management tool

3 days ago

ElizHS compares a card on Trello to a forum thread. I think That makes sense.

3 days ago

I can see some applications. How hard will it be to attract other people in a group to Trello?

What I mean is that as early adaptor, I find others may not be as motivated to go where I go.

3 days ago

in this case the manager has implemented trello (or the manager of a company might) and others are simply included

3 days ago

I think you need to have a group and then have everyone use it.

3 days ago

seems that trello is convinient and easy to handle

Fellow is managing tool, organizational tool,we can use it for collaboration,but for our personal use as well. I don' t know if we can use it for storing images files. How much is the capacity or storage? My question for Vance, thx

3 days ago

Hi Marijana and Daniel :)

A card is like a word; a list is a phrase; and a board is a sentence!

Is there a limit to the number of members in a Trello group?

3 days ago

Thx for asking Vance and thx for your answer Mbarek! :-)

3 days ago

Obrigada JA!

I promise to work more this week on Trello, but am soon busy lately.

Good question Nina, trello is a nice tool, but as any other tool we need to get use to it. My two cents, asTeresa would say :-)

3 days ago

Vance, could you see this used to plan Learning2Gether events?

3 days ago

no, it would not apply well to L2g, this is for managing people with assigned tasks and roles

3 days ago

3 days ago

Bye, Marijana!

3 days ago

ok, thanks Marijana

3 days ago

Exactly, Marijana. Nothing is 100% intuitive

ElizHS: She was asking about the email features
I think Trello is less a communication system than a way to manage projects.
I'd like to see a digest feature.
You have to go into each card when you do it only online.
Jose - I don't see the little wheel to change the announcements to digest?
I found it --
You can have Never, every hour, or instantly. Not exactly a digest, e.g., every 24 hrs would be better.

ElizHS: There is a voting feature, so that could stand in for short comments like "I like it"

3 days ago

ElizHS: I notice in some of the advertising videos on the Trello site, that their own management team is using Trello with a bunch of other apps for communication. http://blog.trello.com/tips-for-managing-a-remote-team/?utm_source=notification%20link%20&utm_medium=email%20&utm_campaign=manage%20remote%20team
