The company aims to move away from a focus on complex project management in favor of more individual productivity.
Atlassian’s Trello project management tool has received a facelift with features designed to organize meetings and ideas in a cohesive manner.
The new features include an inbox, a planner, and a mix of add-ons and generative AI (genAI) tools to help customers summarize emails, organize meetings, and quickly sort through the barrage of pop-ups appearing in the software.
“In the past, Trello had kind of veered in the direction of project management because you were planning — and helping people plan — bigger and more complex projects. Now we are redirecting the focus on an individual task management,” said Gaurav Kataria, head of product for Trello at Atlassian.
With the update, Trello focused on simplicity, ease of use, and helping individual users be more productive, Kataria said.
The company highlighted two specific features: Inbox and Planner, which are currently in beta. The AI-based inbox, for instance, serves to collect and summarize key action points and organizes to-do lists collected from a variety of collaborative and productivity apps. Planner serves to coordinate scheduling and tasks.
