The Ultimate Wallboard

Information radiators are great for development teams to stay up to date with what's going on. Tell us about yours and you could win the Ultimate Wallboard setup.

What's on your wallboard?

Whether your wallboard is simple or sophisticated, we want to know about it. Tell us what's cool about your information radiator and you could win a 55" HDTV and more.

Here's how it works:

  • Show us your wallboard in action with a short video (in 1 minute or less) or a great picture.
  • Explain what data is displayed and why it's valuable to the team (in 250 words or less).
  • Prizes will be awarded based on public voting (so tell your friends) and as judged by our panel of experts.

What is a wallboard?

A wallboard is a type of information radiator that displays vital data about the progress of the development team. Similar to a scoreboard at a sporting event, wallboards are large, highly visible and easy to understand for anyone walking by.

Traditional wallboards are made of paper or use sticky notes on a wall. Electronic wallboards are very effective since they update automatically with real-time data ensuring that people check back regularly.

Turn JIRA into an information radiator with the Wallboards plugin

The JIRA Wallboards Plugin

The JIRA Wallboards Plugin takes advantage of OpenSocial to turn the JIRA dashboard into a wallboard for your team. Each component of the wallboard is implemented as an OpenSocial gadget with a special Wallboard view type.

There are currently 8 gadgets available with the JIRA Wallboards Plugin for you to pull data from JIRA & GreenHopper, Bamboo, Crucible and Twitter.

Install the JIRA Wallboards Plugin directly from JIRA using the Universal Plugin Manager or download it from the Atlassian Plugin Exchange.
