What is Trello?
Trello, an?Atlassian?product, is a visual collaboration tool that gives teams a shared perspective on any project. You can create boards, lists and cards to organise and prioritise your work. According to?Wikipedia, the name Trello is derived from the word "trellis" which had been a code name for the project at its early stages.

Notifications are seamless
Trello’s notifications make it so easy to stay on top of things. You can customise your notifications to receive an email after every update, including when a comment is made, tasks are removed or as a deadline reminder. If you’re using the Trello app, you’ll receive push notifications – so handy!
“Trello's easy notifications provide an easy-to-digest overview of the changes, updates or comments made by team members on various projects. In the mornings, I'm able to have a quick look before I deep dive into each notification, after I've had a sip of my coffee.” - Tahlea, Marketing Coordinator
