Overview of this book

Agile methodologies like Scrum focus on customer values in an incremental way. Regular planning, tracking, reporting, and improving can become equally challenging from a project management perspective. GreenHopper is a tooling support for JIRA that offers easy adoption of agile practices through rich interfaces for effective team collaboration and project management. Agile Project Management with GreenHopper 6 Blueprints is a step-by-step guide that teaches you how to manage agile projects using the GreenHopper tooling system. With easy adoption using pre-sets for Scrum & Kanban, the rich interface focuses on the work at hand, increasing team productivity. Executing sprints, tracking sprints, and reporting on agile projects has never been so easy. The integration with different development environments helps teams to focus on collaboration, communication, and continuous improvement. This book covers agile project management concepts using GreenHopper. You will learn about backlog management for your agile team, how to create projects and boards for your agile team, and how to create new backlog items, prioritize items, estimate backlog items, create sprints, and update technical task status and report on the same. You will learn everything you need to know about managing an agile project using GreenHopper and how to achieve the best value for your team.

Scrum task board in GreenHopper


A typical Scrum board consists of three status for the work planned in a Sprint:

  • To Do: The work that still needs to be done in a Sprint

  • In Progress: The work that is in progress and a team member is currently working on the same

  • Done: The work already done for the task and it is marked as completed

As covered in earlier chapters, you already have created a Scrum board for your team. You are also ready with the prioritized Sprint backlog and have started a Sprint. The next step is to visualize the same Sprint backlog information on the task board so that team members can start working on it.

To access the task board, go to your team board and click on the Work link. The default Scrum board in GreenHopper has three columns representing the status of work as shown in the following screenshot:

Once you start a Sprint, all the issues are into the do state and the team still need to start working on the issues.
