It's been almost a year since Atlassian bought online organizational tool Trello for $425 million. Michael Pryor, CEO of Trello, joins Cheddar to discuss how product innovation has evolved since joining Atlassian and what the future has in store for its launch in Japan.
Pryor says the move into Japan was natural because, after gaining 6 million users this year, Trello wants to expand its footprint even more. He talks about hitting the 25 million user milestone and what it means for the company.
Plus, how has Atlassian helped the growth of Trello? Pryor talks about how the unit fits with its parent's other products such as HipChat and Confluence. He says that Trello is the grounding point of organizing user projects inside and outside your office.
