General Tips
- When you start a large project, it's usually best to have a Trello card for it. Create this Trello card in the subteam board it applies to, and under the correct category within that board.
- Add members who are working with you on this project to the card.
- Add labels that apply to the card's contents.
- If a card has multiple parts to it, you can create a checklist for each subtask, and check them off to show progress.
- Add a due date to the card. For events, this is the start time of the event.
- When you have completed the task, archive the Trello card.
