The Latest and Greatest GreenHopper Features
Rapid Board for Kanban
This release introduces the Rapid Board, a flexible new board for managing and reporting on work in progress.
Rapid Views have preset Swimlanes and Quick Filters for Kanban teams.
Support for Multiple Projects
The Rapid Board uses a JIRA filter, or saved search, to pull cards into each Rapid Viewd. This allows you to use JIRA Query Language (JQL) to view issues across any number of projects in JIRA.
Powerful Filtering
Defining custom Quick Filters and Swimlanes for each Rapid View is simple. JQL's autocomplete entry fields ensure no query language experience is required – even for the more complex queries.
New Control Charts
The Rapid Baord includes a new control chart to measure cycle and lead time for issues across your projects.
JIRA 4.4 Compatibility
GreenHopper 5.7 is compatible and bundled with JIRA 4.4. Upgrading to GreenHopper 5.7+ takes just a few clicks from the JIRA plugin manger, and no JIRA restart necessary.
GreenHopper Labs
The new Rapid Board is available in GreenHopper Labs today. Rapid Board takes advantage of the latest in web technology to provide an awesome planning, tracking, and reporting experience for agile teams.
Swimlanes
The Rapid Board now offers multiples swimlanes based on JQL. Take advantage of the search enhancements in JIRA 4.4 and build queries to show specific sets of issues in different lanes on a single Rapid Board.
Improved Inline Editing
Just click once to edit any text field directly inline. Speed up card creation with new auto-complete entry for reporter and assignee fields.
