My system administrator mentioned that the GreenHopper plugin was added to our Jira setup, but I can’t find any signs of it when I log in. I’ve looked around the interface but nothing seems different from before. What’s the easiest method to check if GreenHopper is actually running and available in Jira? Are there specific menu items or features I should be looking for that would confirm the installation is working properly?
A quick way to verify if the GreenHopper plugin is active in your Jira instance is to look for an ‘Agile’ section in your project sidebar. If it’s running, you should see options like ‘Active sprints’ or ‘Backlog.’ Additionally, when creating new projects, the templates for Scrum or Kanban should be available. However, it’s important to note that the plugin might be enabled globally but not configured for your specific project. It’s advisable to check with your administrator to ensure it’s properly set up for your configuration.
look in your project dropdown for ‘boards’ or ‘agile’ links to see if GreenHopper’s active. also check the top nav bar for agile-related stuff. sometimes it may need you to change your project type to agile for those features to appear.
To verify if the GreenHopper plugin is active, navigate to Administration and select Add-ons. Look for JIRA Agile, which is the rebranded name of GreenHopper. If you find it listed and active, an ‘Agile’ menu should appear in your main navigation. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that just having the plugin installed isn’t enough; your user permissions may prevent you from accessing agile boards. Consider testing by attempting to create a new board, as having GreenHopper functional will provide options for Scrum or Kanban boards. If the setup is incorrect, the interface will remain unchanged.
