BLOG Dealing with finished Trello cards (without cluttering up your board) This question comes up again and again. What should you do with a Trello card when you've finished working on it? You don't want these cards to clutter up your Trello board but, at the same time, you don't want to lose the information. Here's how we deal with finished cards and build a tighter team in the process. The very short answer is - we archive finished Trello cards. It gets them out of the way and means they don't clutter the board. If you stop there, however, you'd be missing out on a
BLOG Zoom Zoom Zoom We're Going To The Moon.....

BLOG Why You Should Listen To Me About Productivity (Even Though I Am Crap At It) Now is exactly the right time to post this blog.

Nil's and I are working on a productivity e-book and the best insight into the e-book is how we deal with our own productivity.

BLOG Managing your team with Trello You manage a team using Trello and want to assign tasks to your team members.

BLOG How can I give a user in Trello read-only access? Trello is a collaboration tool and it's easy to add new members to a Trello board. Often you don't want those new members to have the same permissions as everybody else. Clients might need access to a project's board to see progress but without the need to comment or move cards around. Similarly, you might want to restrict what a user can do if they are not as technically skilled or not involved with the project very often.
