You will be as pleased as we are to see this very popular request satisfied. You can now configure your card colours based on Issue Types, Priorities, Assignees, or JQL queries of your choice.
If you are working on a large, multi-team project, then you may want to keep track of each team's current activity – that is, you may want to track multiple active sprints.
In GreenHopper 6.0.2, if your board's filter is configured to display multiple projects then you can now see all of the active sprints. Great for Scrum of Scrums meetings.
Multiple active sprints in Plan mode:
...and in Work mode (click the sprint name to toggle between the various active sprints):
Following on from GreenHopper 6.0, where we delivered the ability to create multiple upcoming sprints, GreenHopper 6.0.2 brings you the ability to rename your future sprints.
Simply mouseover the sprint name, click and start typing:
This will save you some time and mouseclicks.
To instantly see all issues in all of your swimlanes in Work mode, simply press the "-" key (see Using Keyboard Shortcuts) or select Tools > Expand all swimlanes:
The Burndown Report now includes an itemised list of incomplete issues/outstanding work at the end of the sprint:
In GreenHopper 6.0.2 we have removed the board selection drop-down, which has improved page load performance — especially on instances that have lots of boards.
You can still access all boards via Agile > Manage Boards, and of course your most recently used boards are available directly from the Agile menu:
The Atlassian team announces the release of GreenHopper 6.0, bringing you the ability to plan multiple sprints at the same time.
This release also includes a number of fixes. For full details please see the GreenHopper 6.0 Release Notes and the GreenHopper 5.10.6 Release Notes.
In GreenHopper 6.0, the new board (formerly known as the Rapid Board) is now promoted in the menu structure. The previous boards are now known as the Classic Planning Board, the Classic Task Board, the Classic Released Board and the Classic Charts Board, and are available via Classic in the menu:
Please note that the keyboard shortcuts have also been updated. Type "?" for the latest list.
You can now create multiple upcoming sprints, allowing you to plan several iterations ahead. Simply click Add Sprint at the top of the backlog:

We hope you enjoy the convenience of being able to perform many of your most common GreenHopper tasks on the iPad (we do!)
You can now edit your project's workflow from within GreenHopper. Just click Add Status on your board's Column Configuration page:

In GreenHopper 6.0 the new board is no longer known as the "Rapid Board" — we figure everyone knows by now that it is vastly faster than the Classic boards. The new board has been built from the ground up on newer technology that enables us to provide optimum performance, making the most of your valuable time.
Enjoy!
This release delivers a number of bug-fixes. For full details please see the GreenHopper 5.10.5 Release Notes.
This release delivers the following enhancements to the Rapid Board:
This release also includes a number of fixes. For full details please see the GreenHopper 5.10.4 Release Notes.
Every second of your time is precious, so we are delighted to announce some significant reductions in page load time, particularly for Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Your feedback tells us that you love the Rapid Board, so we're giving you the option of moving it up the menu and making it quicker to access.
Enable Rapid Boards as default in GreenHopper Labs to change the Agile menu from this:
... to this:
Classic will take you to the old Planning Board, Task Board, Chart Board and Released Board.
If you choose to enable Rapid Boards as default in Labs, as well as changing the GreenHopper menus, the term "Rapid Board" will be replaced simply by "Board" throughout GreenHopper. It seems that's what everyone was already calling it anyway.
This release delivers the following enhancements to the Rapid Board:
This release also includes a number of fixes. For full details please see the GreenHopper 5.10.3 Release Notes.
The velocity chart shows the amount of value delivered in a sprint. It is useful for your Sprint Retrospective meeting, sizing your future Sprints and also for mid-sprint progress checks.
The velocity of a sprint is the sum of the Estimate for all completed stories. Estimates can be based on story points, business value, hours, issue count, or any numeric field of your choice (see Configuring Estimation and Tracking). Please note that the values for each issue are recorded at the time when the issue moves into the sprint.
When you view an issue's details in Work mode, a sub-tasks tab will now be shown (indicated by a 'folder' icon). This shows existing sub-tasks of the issue (if any exist), and gives you the total estimate for all sub-tasks. It also gives you the ability to quickly create new sub-tasks.
This release delivers the following enhancements to the Rapid Board:
This release also includes a number of fixes. For full details please see the GreenHopper 5.10 Release Notes and the GreenHopper 5.9.8 Release Notes.
In GreenHopper 5.10, Scrum support is now a core part of the product. This means that Plan mode is now automatically available for all Scrum boards — you no longer need to enable it via Labs. Likewise, the Scrum option will automatically be available whenever you create a new board.
The Sprint Report now indicates (with an asterisk) issues that were added or removed after the sprint started:
The Sprint Report (previously known as the Sprint Retrospective Report) now shows burndown, and also displays a table showing you which issues were completed successfully during the sprint and which were not.
GreenHopper will now suggest a name for your new sprint based on your previous sprint, e.g. if your previous sprint was called "Bob 1", GreenHopper will offer "Bob 2" as the default name for your new sprint.
In GreenHopper 5.9.7 we introduced the ability to choose your preferred Estimation Statistic (e.g. Story Points).
We now bring you the ability to do your tracking in hours, if you wish. This means that, for example, you can now choose to use Story Points for estimation, but time-tracking for burndown.
If you do not have an Estimation Statistic applied to an issue, you will receive a warning when starting the sprint (unless your Estimate Statistic is set to Issue Count, which is calculated automatically).
By popular request, you can now remove an issue from an in-progress sprint in Work mode. Simply click an issue to display its Detail View on the right of the screen, then click the cog icon:
Once all the sub-tasks have been completed, it's time to resolve the parent issue. In GreenHopper 5.9.5 we introduced a prompt, when you move the last sub-task to the 'Done' column in Work mode, to remind you to move the parent too.
But what if you resolved the sub-tasks in native JIRA instead? In GreenHopper 5.9.8, we now display a button on the parent issue the next time you visit Work mode.
When you end a sprint, the Sprint Report will now be displayed automatically.
This release delivers the following enhancements to the Rapid Board:
This release also includes a number of fixes. For full details please see the GreenHopper 5.9.7 Release Notes
Please note: Plan mode is available by activating the "Scrum" option in GreenHopper Labs.
Instead of having to use Story Points, you can now choose to estimate your issues based on Story Points, Original Estimate, or any numeric custom field you have configured:
The Sprint Burndown Chart is now based on your configured Estimation Statistic. The value burns down when the story is completed (i.e. moved to the last column on work mode):
The Sprint Burndown Chart will now show issues that are added to (or removed from) a sprint after the sprint has started.
The Sprint Burndown Chart now includes a Data Table that explains each movement of the graph (see screenshot above).
