The incredibly successful breakout product, Trello, has been acquired by Australian software company Atlassian for £425 million.

Trello had been one of the breakout hits of a fast growing enterprise software market. Focused on teamwork and productivity, it’s been a favourite for project and team management — last year they reached 19 million total registered users and one million daily active users.

Atlassian offers its own communication product, Hipchat (competes with Slack), as well as a collaborative document creator called Confluence (competes with Google’s G Suite) and a growing suite of CRM tools much like Microsoft and Salesforce. Adding Trello continues Atlassian’s ambition into the office workforce by fitting into being the place for free form ideas.

Trello will remain a standalone property for the foreseeable future but will eventually be integrated and connected with Atlassian’s other products.
