Despite some technical difficulties (and server maintenance), we completed our second round of presentations today. Again, most of the interfaces seemed pretty useless to me (though that’s not to say the interfaces themselves were useless), but one in particular stood out. Trello is an “easy, visual way to organize projects.” It essentially allows a project’s workflow to be managed and delegated to group members very easily. The customizations afforded by the interface are adequate and provide everything that one might need.

What I appreciated most, however, was that Trello was a finished product, a fully-functional tool, if you will. I was a bit frustrated by so many of the other interfaces’ “premium packages.” While I realize a company needs to make money somehow, incessantly advertising the premium package is not going to convince me to buy it, especially if half of the features are locked in the free version. While Trello does have a premium version of their service, it actually seems to enhance the product rather than “unlocking” all the features you should’ve had in the first place.
