Trello

Trello is a visual project management tool that uses boards, lists, and cards to help teams organize and track their work. It's based on the Kanban methodology, making it easy to see what's being worked on, who's working on what, and where tasks are in the development process. Trello is free for small teams and provides an intuitive way to manage software development projects without the complexity of enterprise-level tools.

Trello boards help development teams visualize their workflow using a simple card-based system. Each project gets its own board, lists represent different stages of work (like "To Do", "In Progress", "Testing", "Done"), and cards represent individual tasks or features. Team members can assign themselves to cards, add due dates, create checklists, and track progress as work moves through different stages.
