This Guided Project was created to help project managers, team leaders, and anyone seeking effective project planning accomplish a streamlined project management experience using Trello.

More specifically, in this 2-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to navigate the Trello interface and understand its core components: boards, lists, and cards. You will create a new Trello board and customize it for your project needs, organize tasks into lists and cards, categorize work into phases or sprints, assign tasks to team members, and manage workload distribution. Additionally, you'll learn to utilize labels, checklists, and due dates to enhance task information, integrate attachments and links to keep all project resources in one place, collaborate with team members using comments, mentions, and shared boards, and finally, track project progress and adapt the board as changes occur.

To achieve this, you will create a comprehensive Trello project plan by working through a scenario that mirrors real-world project management challenges.

This project is unique because it empowers learners to master the simplicity and power of Trello, providing a practical skill set applicable to various industries. To be successful in this project, you will need basic computer skills and familiarity with project management concepts such as the use of Kanban boards, making it accessible to a wide range of learners.
