@Daniel Burzmiński - best advice I can give you is keep it simple.

There are three camps people subscribe to.

* Having a clear definition of a project and then creating lots of them (very similar to PMBOK approach)

* Have projects that map to your teams and using "epics" and "stories" and "tasks" to break down the work within that team.

* Having 1 project and using "Components" as either teams or services or products that you work on. Making this field required (with a catch all), and then configuring boards to look at those components.

Some other tips:

Whichever route you go, keep it simple.

* For example, projects open to everyone at first unless there is a clear business need not to. 

* Keep your workflow simple as possible (Open In Progress Done).

* Find a checklist plugin if you don't want to create sub-tasks (highly recommended. a lot less configuration needed).

* Create a 15 minute basic training session for new team members to get started.

Hope that helps!
