I've enjoyed building side projects with unfamiliar technology. Use MySQL at work - build a side project with MongoDB. Use Apache at work - build another side project with Nginx.

Those side projects add to your portfolio and often make great interview topics. This has enabled me to upgrade positions/companies every 4 years or so and change up my day stack.

I've been happy with Trello. It's biggest benefit is the flexibility. You can use it to fit into nearly any process.

The only thing I don't like is it is very manual. We're looking into automating it, but not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze.
