Collaboration Usage
These are guidelines how to use Trello collaboratively:
- Create needed Lists, e.g.: TODO, Doing, Verification, Done.
- Create new cards:
- Press "N" to create a new card. It will be created below the current selected card. Type the name of the card and press "Enter" to save it.
- Assign yourself/another to a card
- Assign yourself to a card - select the card and press "SPACE"
- Assign another to a card - select the card and press "a" and choose the person.
- Unassigning works with the same shortcuts.
- Verification
- Add card for Verification
- Add the card in the "Verification" list and assign the person, if not already assigned, to verify it (press "A" and choose the person).
- Send email to the person with subject "Verify <card name>" and in the body link to the card (e.g. https://trello.com/card/animating-low-cost-explanation-sasha/4f46dfd8251057f904f99550/94)
- Verify a card
- If all okay, move it to the list "Done"
- If more work is to be done:
- Create a checklist and the points that has to be done
- Move the card back to "TODO" or "Doing"
- Send email to the person responsible with subject "TODO <card name>" or "Doing <card name>" and in the body link to the card. He should read your checklist points and fix them.
- Add card for Verification
- View more cards by decreasing the font size from your browser.
