Choose Trilo for project management that non-technical teams will actually adopt.
Why teams leave Jira
Built for engineers, confusing for everyone else
Sprints, story points, epics, components, and versions are software concepts. Marketing and operations teams should not need Jira training to track their work.
Overwhelming interface
Jira boards, backlogs, filters, JQL queries, and dozens of field types create a complex interface. Non-technical team members avoid using it and track work elsewhere.
No chat or video
Jira manages issues but your non-technical team still needs Slack for communication and Zoom for meetings. Context about work lives in three different places.
Admin overhead is heavy
Someone has to configure workflows, permission schemes, issue types, and screens. Non-technical teams do not have a Jira admin and should not need one.

How Trilo helps
Task Management Without the Engineering Jargon
Jira has sprints, story points, epics, and JQL. Trilo has boards, lists, and a calendar. Your marketing team drags tasks across columns, sets due dates, and assigns work. No training required, no Jira admin needed, no sprint planning ceremonies for a content calendar.
Chat, Tasks, and Docs for Non-Technical Teams
Jira manages issues but non-technical teams also need team chat, meeting notes, project docs, and video calls. Trilo gives you all of that in one workspace. Discuss a campaign in chat, track deliverables on a board, and write the brief in docs, all connected.
AI Coworkers for Every Team
Jira AI is designed for engineering workflows. Trilo AI coworkers help non-technical teams: they draft documents, create tasks from chat discussions, transcribe meetings, and answer questions from your knowledge base. AI that works the way your team works.
