Users should be able to log their time against the tasks and visual reports should be available in Trello for time spent.

In the card area, you should not be able to modify so easily what is already written, as this can cause loss of information.

Having more integration with third party tools is an area for improvement in Trello. It would also be nice if it has a voice messaging functionality similar to what you have in WhatsApp, for quicker communication with colleagues.

It could have a bit more customization, especially for organizations that may want to integrate it into their own systems.
