Outgrowing Trello? Here’s Why It Happens (and How TaskTag Fixes It)

Trello is perfect when you’re small. But as work grows, it gets messy:

  • Too many boards, no big-picture view
  • Chat happens in Slack, not where the work is
  • Files and updates buried in card comments
  • No structure beyond lists and cards
  • Add-ons needed for everything

Sound familiar? You’ve outgrown Trello. Time for something better.
