Project management is one of the largest categories in all of software. From side hustles to huge multinational corporations, teams of all sizes use project management tools to plan and execute their work. And the number of tools in the market for project management is as diverse as the people that use them: Jira, Monday.com, Asana, ClickUp, and many others. Each brings its own unique spin on how to break down work and track progress.
But one tool, perhaps more than any other, has influenced how other project management tools work. And that's Trello.
For this episode, James talked to Justin Gallagher, who worked on Trello for more than ten years, starting with its founding as a hackathon project and running through its meteoric growth and eventual acquisition by Atlassian. They talk about Trello's origin story, the opinionated way Trello encouraged people to break down their work, and the product's impact on future generations of project management tools.
