Your favourite online solitaire game, oops, collaboration tool that organizes your projects into boards is being acquired by Atlassian, we've learned today from Michael Pryor, CEO of Trello:
We’re excited to announce that Trello is being acquired by Atlassian.
We launched Trello five years ago to make it easy and fun to collaborate in a unique way. Since then, more than 19 million people have used Trello to solve many different challenges both personal and professional.
Atlassian has a great track record making excellent collaboration tools like JIRA, Confluence, HipChat and BitBucket. Both the Trellists and the Atlassians share a passion for helping teams work better together.
What does this mean for you? To start: exciting new integrations, an increased featureset, and a continued focus on making the product better and more useful than ever. Our mission will be to make Trello more powerful and even more delightful than it is today.
We will continue to operate as a standalone service, so you don’t have to change a thing about the way you are currently using Trello.
Personal Take
I've been using Trello a lot in recent months. I keep my personal choirs on its boards, I share cards with friends, we are using it in the office.
I've used Atlassian's products like Jira, Confluence and FishEye. They are all state of the art and a bit pricey pieces of great software.
What will this purchase mean for us, current Trello users with free plans? I do hope that nothing will really change and that we will still be able to enjoy a great tool with its basic features for free.
What Is Your Opinion?
Better and better!
