The GreenHopper Rapid Board is a GreenHopper Labs feature that:

  • Provides teams employing Kanban with an alternative approach to working with JIRA issues.
  • Provides visual progress on filtered JIRA issues and shows the status of all these issues at a glance.
  • Allows you to transition issues through a workflow by simply dragging and dropping them across columns.

Transitioning Issues on the Rapid Board

To transition an issue on the Rapid Board:
