Xavier C
Founder
5.0

Xavier: Hi, my name is Xavier. I'm the founder of Mixtons, and I would rate Trello a 5 out of 5. So prior to Trello, we were using monday.com, and I found that it was actually too convoluted and too confusing to try and integrate with the team. So Trello, being a simple Kanban, was far easier for our team to understand, and therefore we decided to implement it across the board. We chose Trello, A, because it was free to begin with, which obviously made it much more appealing for us as a team, as a small business. But secondly, just how simple it was. It's probably the simplest of all the platforms. And you do have very simple integrations that you can have. So for us, it just made sense given our size and scale. The biggest perk of Trello is just how simple the whole thing is. A couple of YouTube tutorials can make you easily understand how to set it all up. And given how customizable all the Kanban boards are, you can have different ones for operations, sales, marketing, et cetera. So it was very simple to implement. So the biggest piece of advice I'd have for someone integrating Trello is to make sure that you have each of your pillars of the business set up in different boards, making sure that everything is trackable, but also that if you do have a premium account, which I would recommend, that you utilize the Power-Ups because they can be a little bit hidden, but once you discover them, they're actually very useful.
