I use Redbooth before and this is the best alternative so far. I'll definitely recommend this to my new work/workmates. As graphic designer My board setup is:

● NEW TASK
● TASK IN PROGRESS
● TASK READY FOR REVISION
● TASK COMPLETED

I just started to use Trello. I am a rookie. I use it for Personal to help me remember. I have 3 list. 1. What book I am reading. I use the label green. 2. What chapter I have read. That label is yellow. 3. Finish. That label is red.

Excellent advice!

This was very helpful! The interface has changed some in 4 years, but I was able to hunt and find most of the features. Updating the video to match the current interface would be nice.
