Project management tools aren’t just for the office anymore.
Trello CEO Michael Pryor told Cheddar that people are even using his product to plan vacations and weddings.
“If you’re a tool that people can use in all these different roles in their lives, then you’re going to be a lot stickier,” he said.
Pryor said he sees that kind of usage in places such as Brazil. He says it’s the multipurpose quality of the product that allows the company to get into both emerging and developed markets.
Trello, which was acquired by Australian software company Atlassian for $425 million in January, boasts over 19 million users. Pryor wants to expand globally and says that in 2018, he’ll focus on Japan.

Two new releases, the rom-com “Regretting You” and “Springsteen — Deliver Me From Nowhere,” earned $12.85 million and $9.1 million, respectively. “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc” is based on the manga series about a demon hunter. It's another win for Sony-owned Crunchyroll, which also released a “Demon Slayer” film last month that debuted to a record $70 million.
The Federal Aviation Administration says flights departing for Los Angeles International Airport were halted briefly due to a staffing shortage at a Southern California air traffic facility. The FAA issued a temporary ground stop at one of the world’s busiest airports on Sunday morning soon after U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy predicted that travelers would see more flights delayed as the nation’s air traffic controllers work without pay during the federal government shutdown. The hold on planes taking off for LAX lasted an hour and 45 minutes and didn't appear to cause continued problems. The FAA said staffing shortages also delayed planes headed to Washington, Chicago and Newark, New Jersey on Sunday.
