2. WHAT IS TRELLO!? Trello is a project management tool that makes collaboration easy. This visual list tool can do so much more, whether you're organizing work projects, family chores, travel plans, or just about anything else.

3. BASIC COMPONENTS List Card Board

4. BASIC COMPONENTS Boards: A board represents a project. Whether you are redesigning a kitchen or launching a new website, a Trello board is the place to organize your tasks on lists and collaborate with your team of friends, family, and colleagues. Lists: Lists keep cards organized in their various stages of progress. They can be used to create a workflow, or act as a repository of ideas. Cards can be moved across lists as tasks go from start to finish. Cards: The fundamental unit of a board is a card. Cards are used to represent tasks and ideas: something that needs to get done, like a grocery list, or to be remembered, like a book recommendation. There is no limit to the amount of cards you can add to a board.

5. CREATING A BOARD Click the “+” button at the top of the Trello homepage, then select “Create Board” from the menu options. Name your board after your project. You can always rename your board in the future. By default boards are set to “Private” but you can also set boards to “Public” or “Team Visible.”

6. ADD A LIST AND A CARD Add a list to your board by clicking the “Add a list” button on your board. Name your list something that will represent the tasks that you are going to add to it. You can add as many lists to your board as you like. Now add your first card. On your list, click “Add a card,” name your card and then click “Save.”

7. EDITING YOUR CARDS

8. Card Descriptions - To add details to your card click “Edit the description” at the top of the card back. In the description field you can add more specific information about your card, links to websites, or step by step directions.
