Kanban: boards, lists, cards, labels, Butler, Power-Ups, calendar views.
Before starting, we run a 1-minute tech check — microphone, ambient noise, connection. If your setup isn't good enough, the test is fully refunded.
Show recruiters and clients in 15 minutes that you actually know Trello — boards, Butler automations, Power-Ups, premium views — with an AI-verified badge they can check in one click.
The Plume Trello badge tests your real-world Kanban skills across the full feature set: designing complex boards with smart list structures and card conventions, building Butler rules and scheduled commands that save your team hours, combining Calendar, Timeline and Dashboard views to run projects end-to-end, and wiring Trello into your stack via integrations with Slack, Google Drive, Jira or GitHub. During a 15-minute conversation with an AI examiner, you walk through situations you've actually lived — not definitions or multiple-choice traps.
What makes this badge meaningful is the format. Listing Trello on your LinkedIn profile is free and takes three seconds. Explaining out loud how you rescued an unmanageable board with 400 cards, how a Butler rule you wrote cut your team's admin time by two hours a week, or why you chose to migrate a specific project off Trello to Jira — that takes real experience. Claude Opus reads the full transcript and generates a 0-to-100 score, a proficiency level (Novice to Expert), and a detailed report that pinpoints your strengths and the exact areas worth improving.
This badge is built for project coordinators, product managers, freelancers, office managers, and anyone who relies on Trello as the backbone of how they get work done. Whether you're job hunting, pitching a client, or just want an honest benchmark of your current level, the Trello badge gives you a concrete, shareable proof of skill that a checkbox on a resume simply cannot.
Here are the concrete dimensions the AI examines during the 15-minute oral.
Designing boards that scale — coherent list structures, well-populated cards (checklists, due dates, attachments, cover images) and labels that make the whole board readable for a team that didn't build it.
Building rules, card buttons and scheduled commands in Butler to eliminate repetitive manual work — auto-archiving, card routing, due-date reminders, Slack notifications triggered by card moves.
Using premium views to track deadlines, spot bottlenecks, balance workload across team members, and present project progress to non-technical stakeholders in a format they actually understand.
Selecting the right Power-Ups for each project type and connecting Trello to Slack, Google Drive, Jira, GitHub or Harvest to build cross-tool workflows that cut manual data entry.
Assigning cards, managing Workspace-level permissions, onboarding new teammates quickly, and keeping a board readable as the team grows, rotates or works across time zones.
Recognizing when Trello isn't the right fit — complex dependencies, advanced reporting, product backlogs — and making a well-argued case for switching to Asana, Jira, Notion or Linear instead.
Getting value from what changed after Atlassian's takeover: Workspaces, Atlassian Intelligence card summaries, native Jira and Confluence links, and the expanded view set available on Standard and Premium plans.
Final scoring is performed by Claude (Anthropic), which reads back the full transcript and applies this weighted criteria grid.
Can you describe real automations you've built — specific rules, card buttons, scheduled commands — and explain why you picked certain Power-Ups for certain project types? This is the clearest signal separating power users from casual ones.
How well do your boards serve a team, not just yourself? The AI evaluates your list logic, card conventions, label taxonomy, checklist usage and how you handle boards that start simple but grow messy.
Do you actively use Calendar, Timeline, Dashboard and Map views to manage real projects? Can you explain what each view tells you and when you switch between them to communicate with stakeholders or unblock the team?
Can you describe a specific integration workflow you set up between Trello and another tool, what problem it solved, and how you maintain it? Generic answers about 'connecting apps' don't score here — specifics do.
A senior Trello user knows when not to use Trello. This criterion evaluates your ability to articulate its real limits with concrete examples and make a reasoned case for an alternative — a sign of genuine expertise.
A Plume session takes about 20 minutes, from tech check to badge delivery.
The AI examiner verifies your mic, audio quality and connection before starting. Find a quiet spot and use a headset or a decent external mic — transcript quality depends on audio clarity.
You describe the most ambitious Trello board you've set up — project context, list structure, team size and what made it genuinely challenging. The AI uses this to calibrate the depth of everything that follows.
The core of the exam. The AI probes your Butler automations with specific follow-up questions, your use of premium views for real deadline management, your stack integrations, and how you've handled boards that got out of control. Every answer should point to a real project.
The AI asks when you'd choose not to use Trello and what you'd do differently on a past project. This is where your experience and judgment show up most clearly.
Claude Opus processes the full transcript and generates your 0-to-100 score, proficiency level, detailed written report and shareable badge. Everything lands in your dashboard within minutes of finishing.
Your score out of 100 translates into a level a recruiter can grasp at a glance.
You use Trello for personal to-do lists or small two-person projects. You can create cards, drag columns and assign a member, but Butler, Power-Ups and premium views are still unfamiliar territory.
You manage team boards with labels, checklists and due dates, have tried one or two Power-Ups, and may have set up a simple Butler rule. You can run a project from start to finish on Trello, even if your boards occasionally get harder to read as they grow.
You design structured boards for teams of 5 to 20 people, build multi-step Butler automations, combine several Power-Ups, and use Calendar and Timeline views to manage real deadlines. You've connected Trello to at least one other tool in your stack and can explain why.
Trello holds no surprises for you. You optimize multi-board Workspaces, build complex conditional Butler automations, extract real value from all premium views and Atlassian Intelligence features, and can make a precise, experience-backed argument for when to leave Trello behind.
No degree or years of experience required to take the badge. Here are the profiles it makes the most sense for.
They live in Trello day-to-day, orchestrating deliverables, tracking sprints and updating stakeholders. The badge gives them a verified proof of expertise that goes beyond a self-declared skill on a resume.
They juggle multiple client projects on Trello and need to demonstrate organizational skills without spending weeks on certifications. A shareable badge on a proposal or portfolio page instantly signals credibility.
They use Trello to centralize internal processes, onboarding flows and team schedules. The badge proves they operate well beyond basic card creation — a real differentiator at interview time.
They use Trello for lightweight roadmaps, feedback tracking and stakeholder updates. The badge shows tech teams and execs that they're fluent in the tool rather than just adding noise to a shared board.
Without a long professional track record to point to, the Trello badge lets them demonstrate concrete project management skills — a decisive advantage when applying for a first coordination or ops role.
Where and how your Trello badge will help you day to day.
A recruiter asks whether you know Trello. Instead of saying 'yes', you share your Plume badge link. They see your score, level and the AI's breakdown of your skills in 30 seconds — the conversation moves straight to substance.
You include your Trello badge in the 'Tools and workflow' section of a proposal. The client sees you can manage a project autonomously from day one without hand-holding — it lowers perceived risk and speeds up the yes.
You're applying for a team lead or ops manager role. Your Trello badge objectively validates your mastery of the tool the whole team relies on, where a casual 'I'm pretty good at Trello' in an HR meeting convinces nobody.
You're joining a new team that runs entirely on Trello. You take the badge first and use the detailed report to know exactly what to focus on — Butler rules, premium views, Jira integration — so you're up to speed on day one.
An agency wants to guarantee clients that its project leads know the tools they recommend. They run the Trello badge across the team, build a shared baseline and identify who can onboard new hires effectively.
An office manager aiming for a Head of Ops role takes the badge to confirm they're using Trello at an Advanced or Expert level. The score and report serve as a roadmap for filling any remaining gaps before the interview.
A few minutes to check you have everything you need.
At the end of your session you don't just get a score — here's everything that awaits you.
You get a precise 0-to-100 score and a level (Novice to Expert) that reflects your actual Trello skills — boards, Butler, Power-Ups, views, integrations — not a self-reported checkbox.
Claude Opus breaks down your performance across every evaluation criterion: board design, Butler automation, premium views, integrations and critical judgment. You know exactly what to keep doing and what to work on.
Your oral exam recording is stored securely and stays strictly private. You control what gets shared — only your public badge and score are visible to others.
A unique verified URL to drop on LinkedIn, your resume, a client proposal or a job application. Anyone you share it with can see your Trello level in one click.
