[teampractices] Mobile web team experimenting with Trello - experiences with migration?

[Arthur Richards]

Cool, thanks Matt and Tomasz.

I wrote a script leveraging some of the Mingle/Trello interaction
functionality in Bingle to import stuff from Mingle -> Trello. This went
pretty well and was really straightforward. If others are interested, we
can talk about generecizing the scripts and including them with Bingle -
they are fairly single-purpose at the moment.

I'm planning to follow an approach that blends some of what each of the
other teams are doing and somewhat emulates how we've managed our workflows
in Mingle:
* separate backlog board (
https://trello.com/b/sFlwoPUn/mobile-web-q4-backlog)
* separate board for current iteration
* separate board for next iteration
I'm hoping this will keep our high-level planning around the backlog clear,
easy and unobtrusive while also facilitating planning activities for the
next iteration.

Our next iteration kicks off on Monday - we will start using Trello for
planning the iteration after that, targeting full-fledged use of Trello
then (kicking off Apr 28). We'll followup with how it all goes.
