BigPicture was founded in 2015 by experienced project managers and IT engineers Tom Kucharski and Mike Niwinski, to rehumanize the world of management through technology.
From 2015 to 2021 the company operated under the SoftwarePlant brand, delivering advanced Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) applications for Atlassian Jira and Trello: BigPicture, BigPicture Enterprise, BigGantt, and BigTemplate.
All four apps turned out to be extremely successful, making the company nearly overnight one of the largest app vendors in the Atlassian ecosystem.
In June 2021, SoftwarePlant joined the Appfire family, constituting its PPM branch, and in December 2021 was renamed BigPicture after its flagship app and best-recognized product brand.
