Trello Power-Ups

One of the easiest Kanban tools to get setup and using is Trello. Their free plan is powerful, the premium plans are reasonably priced, and the community has made some awesome add-ons to create an experience tailored to your team.

However, it's lacking some features I'd recommend starting with out of the gate, so here's my list of recommended Power-Ups every Trello board should have...

Calendar Power-Up by Trello

Easily prioritize cards by dragging and dropping them on the calendar to automatically update their due dates, and export your Trello calendar to third party apps with an iCalendar link.
