At a glance

Trello is a beautiful sticky-note canvas. Production Board is what you reach for when the board has gotten so big that a card with a checklist isn't enough - you need named phases, durations, owner-per-phase, and live updates across tabs. Pick Trello for personal kanbans + light team boards; pick us when production has shape.
