Make Your Data-Driven Decision Making Easier
Do you use Trello for task management but struggle to get a big-picture view of progress across multiple boards? Digging through boards for status updates can be time-consuming and lead to incomplete reporting.
The Reports Power-up for Trello solves this problem by creating real-time dashboards that track work across all your boards. Your metrics and KPIs will be instantly visible, helping you make better decisions.
This could help in many cases. For example:
Product managers tracking development progress across multiple sprint boards to prevent bottlenecks
Executive teams monitoring company-wide projects and initiatives in one dashboard rather than jumping between numerous boards
Client service managers reporting on multiple client projects with custom metrics to improve delivery transparency
