Using the Rapid Board

What is a Rapid Board?

Rapid Boards are a flexible way of viewing, managing and reporting on work in progress. You can create as many Rapid Boards as you like. Creating a new Rapid Board is simple:

1. Save a JIRA search using JIRA’s Query Language (JQL)
2. Layout status columns
3. スイムレーンの設定 — 担当者、親/サブタスク課題、または選択した JQL クエリに基づいて行う
4. (オプション) クイックフィルターを設定する

 Please note that Internet Explorer 7 (and IE8/IE9 in IE7 Compatibility Mode) are not supported for use with the Rapid Board.

Accessing the Rapid Board

To access the Rapid Board:

1. JIRAにログインします。

2. Click the Agile link's down-arrow in the top navigation bar, select Rapid Board, then select your preferred Rapid Board from the resulting dropdown menu.
   
   If this is your first visit you will be prompted to create a new Board.

3. Your Rapid Board will be displayed.
4. Click 'Plan', 'Work' or 'Report', depending on what you need to do.

Plan Mode

In Plan mode you can:

• Prioritise the Backlog — Create issues for your backlog, rank and estimate them, and pull the marker (the grey 'Sprint' box) down to grab a set of issues you'd like to tackle for your first iteration.
• Estimate Stories — You can use the 'J' and 'K' keys to move through issues in the backlog and get details on the right-hand side of the screen. Plug in your estimates or story points as you go. (Note that, by default, the Story Points field is only available to issues of type 'Story' or 'Epic' — you can change this as described in GreenHopper Custom Fields and Database Changes.)
• Create Sub-Tasks — To break a story down into implementable chunks, go to the sub-task tab (click the folder icon) to view and create sub-tasks.
• Plan, and Plan Again — When you're happy with the stories for the iteration, click the 'Start Sprint' button and the stories will move into Work mode. While a sprint is active in Work mode, you can still plan a subsequent iteration in Plan mode, but you won't be able to start it until the active iteration is completed. (You can, however, drag and drop an issue in Plan mode onto the active sprint.) Note that you can only start (or complete) a sprint if you have 'Project Administrator' permission for all issues in the sprint.

An issue will only be visible in Plan mode if:

• the issue matches the Rapid Board's Saved Filter (see Configuring Filters); and
• the issue's status maps to one of the Rapid Board's columns (but not the 'Done' column); and
• the issue is not in an active sprint.

Note that Plan mode is only available for Scrum boards.

Work Mode

In Work mode you can:

• Work on Issues — Choose the highest ranked issues in the 'To Do' column and drag them to the 'In Progress' column. (See Transitioning an Issue.) As you complete each issue in the 'In Progress' column, drag it to the 'Done' column.
• Release a Version (or Sprint) — Click the icon to create your new version and mark it as 'released' throughout JIRA and GreenHopper. (See Releasing a Version.)

注意:

• 各列は 1 つ以上の JIRA ステータスにマッピングされます（列の設定を参照）。
• resolved issues are shown in strike-through font, e.g. DEMO-1.
• サブタスクは少し字下げして表示され、親課題キーが上に表示されます。
• for Kanban boards, the dots at the bottom of each issue indicate the number of days the issue has been in its current column. Hover over the dots to see the total number of days.

• クイックフィルター使用中のため現在非表示となっている課題があるかどうかに関わらず、列制約は列の課題総数に対して適用されます。

• swimlane issue counts appear when a swimlane is collapsed. These counts are affected by Quick Filters, that is, issues hidden by a Quick Filter will be excluded from the swimlane count.

• for Kanban boards, you can specify a Work sub-filter, which refines the issues returned by your Rapid Board's filter (see Configuring Filters).

• an issue will only be visible in Work mode if:
  
  • the issue matches the Rapid Board's Saved Filter (see Configuring Filters); and
  • the issue's status maps to one of the Rapid Board's columns; and
  • 課題がアクティブなスプリントにあること

Report Mode

次のレポートが利用可能です：

• 管理チャート
• Burndown Chart (for Scrum boards only)
• 累積フローダイアグラム
• スプリントレポート （スクラムボード専用）
• Viewing the Velocity Chart (for Scrum boards only)

Note that the reports are Rapid Board-specific, that is, they will only include issues which match the Rapid Board's Saved Filter.
