Bukit Vista Trello Card
It is important to keep track of your tasks or projects in the Trello board my templatizing the provided Trello card (usually placed in the very first stack of the board). Generally, there are 2 kinds of card templates in Bukit Vista:
- Secondary initiative card
- Task card
Note : A primary initiative is the mission of a chapter or a project, while secondary initiative is a goal that will helps achieve the primary initiative
To create a task:
- Click on the bottom-right corner of a list to create cards from a template set in the board.
2. Rename the card with a name that reflects the general idea of the task. If the card is a secondary initiative, use the syntax of:
[<Chapter code> <Primary initiative code>.<Secondary initiative code>.<Pivot code>] <Initiative name>
3. After the card is made, fill in the:
- Description
- Members
- Suitable labels, e.g. In progress, Low Priority, etc
- Deadline
4. If the task can be broken down into different steps, add them as a checklist.
- Fill-in the other members regarding the details of a progress.
- Communicate ideas out of scrums. (use the mention feature using @)
- Attach resources that help update the progress.
Don’t forget to update your card as soon as possible after accomplishing a progress, this helps clarity of information and update during scrum meetings.
When formatting attachments, we can use formatting to help renaming the links to the attachment by using the syntax [name](link).
