In this case it really shines, with near-zero friction to get started.&lt;p&gt;Scott, CEO Atlassian</text><parent_chain><item><author>ryanSrich</author><text>Is Trello really a competitor though?

Trello is not a competitor to JIRA.&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#x27;t get me wrong – I like them both. When I have to plan out personal projects, Trello is great. During the day, we use JIRA. The use cases are different, and the products are both suitable. I&amp;#x27;m madly bemused that people look at the very, very surface layer of the UI (oh look, it has cards in columns!) and assume the products are the same.</text><parent_chain><item><author>ryanSrich</author><text>Is Trello really a competitor though?
