github vs. trello

Github

Pros

• Pull requests are the thing for getting dev done, seeing what others have done, and discussing it. I love pull requests.

Cons

• Developer-centric workflow that doesn't provide much value to the rest of the business, because it has no interest in that at all.
• Not particularly flexible organization of anything, milestones are a bit clunky to use, so it's mostly just labels.

Neutral

• Individual issues are a pretty good place for discussion, but not a killer feature at all like PRs.

Trello

Pros

• Great for all sorts of business processes, including, but far from limited to, product related things.
• Very flexible organization with three dimensions: board, list, label.
• Ordering of things within lists is killer feature.

Cons

• No pull requests and weak integration ("just post a link!").
• Code snippets don't look as good (no syntax highlighting).

Neutral (or perhaps still cons, not sure yet)

• Are cards as good for discussion as issues are? Maybe, but I'm not sure. Comments flow the opposite direction, everything is narrower because it's a modal instead of a page, and you can only attach images to cards themselves, rather than inline them in comments

GitHub now has projects and milestones that allow for categorising and ordering issues.
