You can automate your Trello workflows with just a few clicks and it's all done without coding. Perfect to plan your game dev project more easily!
We will create a few different kinds of automation in order of complexity:

Automate labeling of cards,
create a button that picks something random from our to do list and moves it into our focus list
create a card button which simplifies setting up card dependencies a lot
automate checking off Checklist items based on condition
Automate writing a list of changes for patchnotes or milestones and
Automate cleaning up the board whenever milestones have been reached

Plus: Free tier comes without custom fields, but that won't stop us. We'll have a quick look at Power-Ups to solve that problem!

This video is not sponsored. I just really enjoy working with Trello and it's been a while since I got the chance to gush about it 💛
