Project 3: CloudMita Cookery – Team Workflow & Slack Automation Challenge

This project matters because it turns Trello from “a place to list tasks” into a real team workflow where work is visible, owned, and automatically communicated. Using a simple Kanban-style board (Up Next → In Progress → Complete) helps them track status at a glance and build the habit of moving work through stages, not just writing it down

Project Resources: Please watch the Video below to gain accurate knowledge for this project

Project brief (what to build)

1. Create a new Trello board named CloudMita Cookery.

2. On the board, create 3 lists: Up Next, In Progress, Complete.

3. Create at least 5 cards under Up Next.

Card requirements (what every card must contain)

For each of the 5+ cards:

• Add a clear Description (1–3 lines is fine).

• Add a Checklist (at least 3 items).

• Assign members to cards:

  • Yourself (with your email)

  • Francis — freztravz@gmail.com

  • Susan — Susanbagby@gmail.com

Slack automation (what must happen)

Set up an automation so that when any card is moved to the “Complete” list, Trello automatically posts a message to Slack (ideally to a specific channel like #general).​

Tip for how to phrase the rule in Trello Automation/Butler: use a trigger like “when a card is moved into list ‘Done’…” and an action like “post message to Slack channel…”.

Screenshots to submit (3 items)

They must take and submit screenshots of:

1. The cards (showing at least 5 cards in “Up Next”).

2. Checklist & Description (open one card so the description + checklist are visible).

3. Board (showing the board name “CloudMita Cookery” and the 3 lists).

4. Slack automation (Showing successful delivery from trello to slack Channel)
