Trello lets you organize your tasks and responsibilities, so you can get more accomplished in less time. By turning your work schedule into a visual chart, you can better understand what needs to be accomplished.

Trello is also very useful in a team environment, as you can assign team members to different cards and “tag” them in comments and checklists.

Zapier

Zapier pulls together tasks from different apps, so you can be more efficient in your daily work. Simply create a “Zap” and this will “Trigger” an event that starts from another app. Zapier essentially pulls together your apps, so you are alerted to items from different sources when needed.
