  • 00:05 Trello is such a flexible application that you can use to manage almost anything.
  • 00:11 Whether you want to use Trello to manage your personal projects and
  • 00:14 your own to-dos.
  • 00:16 Or perhaps you'd like to use Trello with your teams and
  • 00:19 to better organize the projects that you use on a day to day basis.
  • 00:24 No matter how you wish to be more productive,
  • 00:26 Trello provides an excellent solution.
  • 00:29 So let's get started with Trello.
  • 00:33 In order to use Trello you will first need to create a Trello account.
  • 00:38 To do so, open up your web browser and go to Trello.com.
  • 00:42 Or you can search for Trello using your favorite search engine.
  • 00:47 Once you're on the Trello home page,
  • 00:49 you will see a green Sign-Up button on the middle of your screen, or
  • 00:53 an additional Sign-Up button in the top right hand corner.
  • 00:57 Now, if you already have an existing Trello account, you can proceed and
  • 01:02 log in at this point.
  • 01:03 But for this example, I'm going to show you how to sign up for
  • 01:07 a brand new Trello account.
  • 01:10 To create your Trello account, you will need three things,
  • 01:14 to enter your name, enter a valid email address, and a password.
  • 01:19 Trello also gives you the option to use Google to sign up for your Trello account,
  • 01:25 and if you wish to use that option, you can select this button here.
  • 01:29 But let's sign up for a new Trello account using the traditional method.
  • 01:34 First, I'm going to enter in my name.
  • 01:38 I'm going to enter in the e-mail address I want associated with my Trello account,
  • 01:44 and a valid password.
  • 01:47 I'm gonna select Create New Account.
  • 01:54 And it's going to bring to this overview page,
  • 01:57 showing me all of the boards that I have in my new Trello account.
  • 02:02 Now you may notice there's not a whole lot here at this point
  • 02:05 because we haven't created new boards of our own.
  • 02:08 Trello, by default, will give you a basic tutorial board
  • 02:13 which will show you some of the terminology and
  • 02:16 some of the other things that are used within the Trello platform.
  • 02:21 But will you will also notice at the top of the screen,
  • 02:23 that it is giving you a brief message to please confirm your email address.
  • 02:29 And it's recommended that you do this right away, so that you can benefit from
  • 02:35 all of the functionality of Trello and also receive future notifications.
  • 02:39 Not just from Trello, the software company, but from your boards and
  • 02:44 as you create notifications and due dates and other features within Trello.
  • 02:49 So, quickly go to your email and
  • 02:52 you will see your Trello account confirmation email.
  • 02:57 When you open it up, you will see a brief welcome message and
  • 03:00 a green Verify Address button.
  • 03:03 Simply select that button and
  • 03:05 you will be returned to your Trello board overview screen.
  • 03:11 And that is how you set up your first Trello account.
  • 03:16 Now that you've set up your first account, let's continue with the course and
  • 03:20 learn how Trello can help you to be more productive
