Use Great Tools to Be More Effective
This is the part you’ve really been waiting for, right? The part where I tell you 
about wonderful apps that’ll make group projects nothing but sunshine and

late 2013, we set up a Trello board for the project. It was massively helpful, as 
there were a ton of things to keep track of.
On a Trello board, you can create any number of lists, which in turn can hold 
any number of cards. Typically, a project will utilize these features like so:
