Trello is a robust project management tool that offers various features to enhance collaboration and task management. One such feature is the voting system, which enables team members to vote on cards and easily prioritize tasks or make group decisions. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the steps of using the voting feature in Trello.
Step 1: Enable the Voting Power-Up
Before you can vote on a card, the voting power-up must be activated for the board. Only board administrators can enable power-ups. To do this, follow these steps:
- Select “Show Menu” from the board’s top-right corner.
- Click “Power-Ups.”
- Find the “Voting” power-up in the list and click “Enable.”
Now the voting feature is activated for your board!
Step 2: Vote on a Card
Voting on a card is straightforward once the voting power-up is enabled.
- Open the card you wish to vote on.
- Click the “Vote” button on the right side of the card interface.
That’s it! You’ve cast your vote.
Viewing the Votes
To view the number of votes a card has received, simply look at the bottom of the card in the board view. The card’s vote count will be displayed next to a thumbs-up icon.
Note:
Keep in mind that the ability to vote on a card may be restricted by the board’s settings. Board admins can determine whether team members, observers, or public members can vote. Make sure to check the voting permissions in the board’s settings.
Conclusion
Voting in Trello is a straightforward and effective way to gauge team consensus or prioritize tasks. By enabling the voting power-up and implementing it strategically, you can streamline project management and enhance collaboration within your team.
