The GreenHopper Plugin provides agile project management to simplify both sprint planning and task tracking for your team. It consists of the following four "boards":

1. Planning Board - Visualise issues, tasks and user stories as graphical "cards", colour-coded and dynamically editable.
2. Task Board - Quickly create, assemble, sort and prioritise project tasks with drag-and-drop simplicity.
3. Chart Board - Create dynamic burndown and burnup charts for your projects.
4. Released Board - Get access to charts and release notes for the released versions of your projects.

GreenHopper also includes a customisable gadget that allows you to generate burndown and burnup charts for any saved filter and place them on your dashboard.

GreenHopper comes bundled with your JIRA Hosted trial, so you can start using it right away! But first, you should read through the GreenHopper 101 page and follow the configuration steps to get it up and running to its fullest potential.
