Through a system of boards, lists and cards, users are able to manage their projects, workflows and tasks in an interactive and collaborative way. It is very flexible and works well with other applications through integrations. Also, an open API allows developers to get creative and further customize the PM platform in how they want to use it.

Chrome Extensions for Finding and Adding Things

The Official Trello Extension

Trello has their own official Chrome extension that enables users to search and access boards very quickly. When users type “t” followed by the spacebar on the address bar (Omnibar), they are now searching directly in Trello. Typing any portion of a name of board will show a list of results. Selecting one will instantly display that board. Users can also create cards from any web page using the Trello icon in the top right corner. Another way to create a card from any web page is by using a special bookmark link.
