[AccessD] Microsoft Access and Trello

"What other tools you have looked at or are currently using..."

Worth a look:

<<https://financesonline.com/top-5-trello-alternatives/>>

If you like Gantt charts and/or working with a spreadsheet layout, Then I recommend you try out Smartsheet

<<https://www.smartsheet.com/>>

There are many options, I think (as others have mentioned) the key is to find one that works for you.  I suggest you trial several of them and see what fits best for the task.

Good luck.
Cheers
Darryl.

Tina,

I am by no means a Trello expert.  I have watched quite a few Trello training videos while at the local fitness center (all machines have flat screens for internet access).
I have also experimented with many of the Trello features.

One of the things that I like is the flexibility of Trello that allows a person to do things "their way" instead of being forced into a certain method by the software.

However, such flexibility also can be a bit confusing.  One person may use Trello one way and a second person may use the product another way.

I currently have Trello set up for multiple projects with one board per project.  Therefore I flip between boards to see the tasks that I need to work on today.

I could have set up a single Trello board with one or more lists for each project.  This would provide a single place to look for today's work.

Another method would be to have a "To Do Immediately" list with tasks from multiple projects.  There is a "Card Linking" feature in Trello that I have not yet played with.  I will let you know what I learn from my experiments with linking cards.

I am curious how you are using Trello and what other tools you have looked at or are currently using.

Thanks,
Brad

I have Trello. I thought I was going to really like it, and for some things I do. If I had one project to see through from beginning to end, I think I would like it better.

What I want is a product that will let me look at today, for example, and show me what is needed for each of the projects I have running.

Have you found a way to do that with Trello?

I have started to experiment with Trello and the more I work with it, the more I like it.  I am starting to use it both at work and on the home front to keep track of projects, tasks, to-do lists, vacation plans, etc, etc.
