Use when

You want a dead-simple, visual way to track tasks and projects that any team member can learn in minutes.

You need complex dependency tracking, Gantt charts, or engineering-specific workflows. Use Linear for engineering and ClickUp for complex multi-team projects.

Trello is the most beginner-friendly project management tool. If your team struggles to adopt ClickUp or Asana, start with Trello.
