We need access to your Trello account in order to import your boards into Kerika. We will use this access only for importing your boards.
The access will last only 1 hour and we will not be able to make any changes to any of your Trello boards.

Behind every successful YouTube channel you will find the same critical success factors:
Successful folks have a process that works. They don't rely upon gimmicks to boost their audience and increase engagement, or just count on luck. Their internal workflow helps ensure they have a great pipeline that consistently produces great videos every week.
A one-off viral video will get you your 15 minutes of Internet fame, but it won't sustain a channel. You need a solid workflow that works consistently.
Sustained success is a team effort. A solo effort will occasionally produce a great viral video, but a successful YouTube channel – one that consistently produces good content – leverages a fluid team of writers, designers, and photographers – and, if you are working for a client, marketing folks from the client's organization that need to be involved throughout the process
You need to be good at quickly bringing together the right team. And the "right" team will vary based upon the video that you are producing: some videos might need animators, others might need graphic artists or specialized photographers.
Email is notoriously bad for productivity: too many people get involved in a thread, and pretty soon all that Reply All spam leaves everyone feeling confused and frustrated.
Things get worse when you attach drafts of your writing and try to get comments: what started off as a simple MyArticle.docx quickly spawns MyArticle v2, My Article (John's feedback), My Article v3, and so on…
Important stuff gets lost in the avalanche of irrelevant emails, and it becomes all too easy for everyone to lose track of deadlines.
The challenge of coordinating tasks, keeping track of content, and collaborating has become more difficult now that people are working remotely: when folks are working in different locations, and at different times, making sure everyone is always on the same page is both harder and more vital.
Kerika is Flexible
Kerika lets your team customize your workflow, to adapt to new challenges and opportunities, and to incorporate feedback quickly, so you keep getting better at what you do. Kerika makes it super-easy to change your mind.
Kerika is Simple
Everything about the Kerika user experience makes sense right from the first click. Kerika has just the right features, presented beautifully. And that's a big difference from other task management tools that come overloaded with unnecessary features, leaving you overwhelmed and unsure where to begin.
Kerika is about Collaboration
Well, obviously! The folks contributing to each video are not going to be sitting in the same room as you all the time, and that's fine because Kerika makes it super easy for your distributed team to contribute from anywhere, anytime.
Kerika Encourages Conversations
As videos get developed, people are going to have something to say about the material at each stage of production. With Kerika, your chat is integrated with task management and content management, all smoothly fitting together, so you have a smarter alternative to email.
Kerika Manages Content
The finished video is the one piece of content that everyone will see, but you know there’s a ton of other content that gets created, reviewed, merged, revised – and sometimes trashed. That means files of all kinds: documents containing scripts, images and videos (obviously!), links to external media and websites. Kerika manages all of this automatically, so you can focus on more important tasks.
Kerika Brings It All Together
Kerika is a complete solution that anyone can use, from anywhere, at any time. All you need is a browser: nothing to install, not even a plug-in or add-on.
Each column in the Template represents a stage in the workflow:
Flexibility is what makes Kerika a great tool for any team! Because there are many teams using Kerika, and not all of them use the same workflow. Every team has its way of doing things, and they make changes in the workflow as they need.
Kerika is the one tool that brings everything together, and everyone on the same page.
Check out this example a YouTube channel team using Kerika to manage their content creation process. Click on the image to see this live board:
Even a casual visitor like you can easily easy see, at a glance, exactly what's going on, and how the work is progressing. (By the way, the only reason you can view this board is because this team has decided to share it with the world. Every board can have its access tightly controlled to make sure only the right people can see or change anything.)
None of these folks needed to install any software to use Kerika, not even a browser plug-in!
This is one of the video ideas that this team has been working on (you can click on the image to see the card in the live board!)
As this idea gets worked on, you can see that it's been assigned to one of the team members, and has a due date and a clear status (NEEDS REVIEW). But Kerika goes much further in helping this team: users can create a checklist of sub-tasks that need to get done for this video to be made:
The chat that the team did about this one video is also captured right inside the card, which makes it super easy for everyone to find – a big change from searching through your overflowing mail Inbox!
And the same goes for all the files and bookmarks relevant for this particular video:
That's the great thing about Kerika: everything related to this one video is stored right inside the video's card on this board. There's no need for anyone to go looking for mail messages or status reports or files – they can find everything they need just by opening this one card!
There's no limit to the size of any Kerika board, and there's no limit to the number of boards you can have in your account.
As boards get big, Kerika's Highlights feature helps you zoom in on what matters most to you.
One common use of Highlights is to focus on just those tasks that are assigned to you:
If you are using Google Apps (GMail, Google Docs...) you will be delighted to find that Kerika comes with Google Apps support right out of the box! Simply use your Google ID, and you're good to go! There's no need for any plug-ins or add-ons, and there's no extra charge.
Any files you upload are stored in your own Google Drive without any additional set up. And that's going to make your IT folks a whole lot happier than having your files disappear into the cloud.
Sharing files is super easy in Kerika. When you create a new file, all the members of the board automatically get write-access to it. Visitors also get read-only access to your files. You can even create new Google documents from inside a Kerika task or board.
If you upload a new version of a file, or rename something from inside Kerika, that shows up automatically in your Google Drive as well. If a Google file is updated, that shows up in your Kerika boards as well.
Everything you do in your Google drive gets updated in Kerika in real time! So there's no need to manually manage any documents.
