I've used https://trello.com/ for most of my projects even when I am working with a team. We love it. Here are some basics on how to manage a project with Trello: https://trello.com/inspiration/project-management.

Ditto with Trello. A Kanban workflow is almost ideal for all small (and even some larger) projects...

Absolutely, With Trello you can always scale from small beginnings to full fledged system with plugins. And if you have a DIY nature you can write your own plugins the same isnt true for say JIRA.

Is there somewhere a plugin to make shortcut buttons for filtering? I label my cards, but filtering by labels is real pain in the ass process.

I've had a look at their API but it does not seems too straightforward. :(

You can always program something if you want. Their client ibrary is excellent https://trello.readme.io/v1.0/reference#client-library There are assortment of ways to get data which you can filter and show the cards that you want.

I've been using MS TFS scrum workow which is pretty much Trello without editable columns. Pretty good after other task management systems. Very responsive and easy to edit tasks/user stories.

Edit: also integrates with your version control, build and test systems if you manage them with TFS as well. Pretty much what atlassian was trying to do when buying Trello.

Also check out https://helloepics.com which adds parent child relationships across boards to Trello. I worked on it, but I wouldn’t (and didn’t) want to use Trello without it.

If you guys also need time tracking along with KanBan be sure to check out Paymo (shameless plug) https://www.paymoapp.com/kanban-software/

Ditto with Trello, and not just for software. I love the 'email to board' feature where I can forward supplier quotes/docs straight to the board from my inbox, so I can find them later!

I hope Atlassian look after it

Didn't Atlassian buy Trello some time ago?

I second the vote for Trello. I find it simple enough that even novice software users can understand it. As a team, we've recently switched to Asana which I find more feature rich, but overwhelming because of this.

Has the web interface for Trello got better (more fluid, less laggy) in the past year? What about the native app (or is it another electron crap?)?
