QUICK START

The main thing to remember when looking at GreenHopper is that GreenHopper is really just another user interface for JIRA.

• Everything you see comes from the JIRA data. (Projects, Versions, Issues, ...)
• Everything you do will be pushed to JIRA. (Notifications, Workflow functions ...)
• Whatever you configure in JIRA will be reflected in GreenHopper. (Fields, Permissions, Security ...)
  
  

So basically if you are comfortable with JIRA, GreenHopper should be a real walk in the park!
See the JIRA Quick Start.

Here is a quick check list that will provide you with the most valuable features of GreenHopper.

• You will need a ranking field to prioritize your issues. (ordinal priority)
  Follow this step by step "how to", should be straight forward.
  
  
• Organize your versions like folders.
  See Planning Board mode: By Versions. Very simple but powerful.
  
  
• Add your own statistics (like Story points) and have access to the more charts
  Adding a statistic will automatically add a Burnup, Burndown and Value (velocity) chart for that statistic.
  See the Statistics section.
  
  
• Use the contexts to narrow down your issues to display
  See the Context section for how to use, create and share contexts.
