What’s maybe the most interesting feature here, though, is that the new team table view is Trello’s first view that brings in multiple boards. In practice, that means Trello is adding five new views to Trello (and making it easy to switch between them): team table view for tracking cross-company or cross-project work in a spreadsheet-like fashion timeline view for managing roadblocks and making data adjustments calendar view for tracking deadline and time-sensitive tasks map view for users who have location-based projects and finally dashboard view for better visualizing success metrics and building reports.įor the most part, the names here are self-explanatory. In addition, the new Trello adds more ways to see data from other tools natively inside the service, without having to switch tools. The reason behind a lot of the new features was to make it easier for users to do more work inside of Trello and to get better macro views of what teams are working on themselves, but also what is happing across teams and inside an organization. We would talk previously about this explosion of apps, we would talk about all the browser tabs, people getting lost in information sprawl.

We talked about the future of work, right? And then, all of a sudden, it was like: nope, that’s just work. “Over the years, we’ve built this huge, passionate audience of people,” Michael Pryor, Trello’s co-founder and now Atlassian’s head of Trello, told me ahead of today’s announcement, “We have way over 50 million signups - and that 50 million number is from 2018 or something, they won’t let me yet give out the current number. That’s in addition to a number of changes to the overall look and feel of the service. That focus doesn’t change with today’s release, but the team is now adding a slew of new board views and new capabilities to the individual cards that make up those views, with a special focus on bringing more data from third-party tools right into those cards. With significantly more than 50 million users, Trello is one of the most popular project management tools around, and in many ways it brought digital Kanban boards to the mainstream. Trello, the Kanban board-centric project management tool acquired by Atlassian in 2017, today launched what is likely one of its most important updates in recent years.
