One specific Power-Up came to Trello by way of Jira and concentrates on Work Breakdown Structure, which is a tool that incorporates scope, expense and schedule standards to ensure all job plans remain in positioning. That Power-Up is called BigPicture, and it empowers your team leader to manage WBS, filter and display screen picked data through turning points, markers, important course, development and even custom views to give you an at-a-glance approach of examining job statuses.
