How can we provide task management capabilities similar to trello from our jira server ?

[Anuradha Madhyani]

We are currently using Jira server for backlog management and issue tracking , but we want to offer task management capabilities similar to Trello from our Jira server. However, using kanban boards in Jira is very slow as compared to Trello, how can we achieve this? Is there a plug-in for this?

What "task management capabilities" do you mean? 

Jira is already a fully-fledged task manager, with more functionality than Trello, so I'm wondering what you are missing?

We need to onboard users who exclusively use Trello as of now for their task management requirements. The major blocker for this will be the difference in the way Jira workflows perform from Trello's lightweight card creation process. We are looking for something that can simulate the Trello's card creation in Jira. I have seen Jira cloud has advanced templates which give this functionality but are working with Jira Server.

Jira has a  lot more power than Trello, and unless you have really really simple issues, it needs a bit more than "type a summary and move on". 

I'd get your admins to keep Jira issues as simple as possible (just keeping the summary mandatory) - that's as close to "one line at a time" that Trello does.  Templates won't help you - you still need to go through the issue creation process.
