Trello for internal project tracking

We use Trello to track research team internal projects.

How to find Trello

  • Log into Trello via your CDS Google account.
  • View our Trello board.
  • If you need to be able to edit cards, ask Colin for an invitation.

What we put on Trello

Trello is where we track basic information about ongoing, non-product-specific projects. We track information like:

  • The name of the project (example: “updating the consent form generator”)
  • Who’s taking the lead on it
  • Notes on project progress

What we don’t put on Trello

Like Google Drive or Airtable, Trello can’t hold protected data. Store this information in GCDocs or our secure filing cabinet.

Who uses Trello when

  • Researchers are responsible for updating their project cards.
  • Enter projects as you start working on them.
  • Update the project card as you do work on the project.
  • Move it to the “done” column when you’re done with it.
  • Colin will check Airtable for completeness every week or so.

Why do we do this?

Trello serves three purposes:

  • It keeps us abreast of each others work. It saves Colin and others from asking what you’re doing, when.
  • We use it to check against our progress on [our key results] - Last updated by Colin on March 25, 2019
