Trello by Fog Creek Software offers a project management app to help your entire team stay on task by organizing everything from simple daily tasks to large group projects. Using a system of boards, you make “to-do” lists, “doing” lists and “done” lists. Add team members to the board so each person can comment and post to the board.
