Problems Ragenaizer PMS solves out of the box
Trello cards are infinitely flexible — and that's the problem. There's no severity, no priority, no reproducibility, no resolution codes. You end up using labels and emoji to fake the structure your team needs.
Time tracking? Power-up. Calendar? Power-up. Reporting? Power-up. Custom fields? Power-up. The "free" Trello becomes paid the moment you need anything beyond a card and a column.
Every project is its own board. Want sub-projects? Make another board. Want a portfolio view? Power-up. There's no real hierarchy, just a list of boards and a folder you can drop them in.
Trello cards have a due date and that's it. No hours logged, no billable rates, no client invoices. Agencies and consultancies always end up running Trello plus Harvest plus QuickBooks.
Move off Trello and get the boards plus everything you actually need.
