We're pleased to announce the immediate availability of the GreenHopper plugin for JIRA Studio.

GreenHopper for Studio is an agile project management tool which adds a number of very useful features to JIRA, but what it really brings you is a way to visualize your coming releases, organize your tasks, and plan your development. We've been using Greenhopper for a few weeks now on the Studio team internally, and really don't know how we ever got along without it.

GreenHopper replaces your card wall with a virtual card wall which allows you to stack rank issues by priority and drag and drop them from version to version. It also gives you:

• Global view of all unreleased versions and all components
• Card and List look & feel
• Issue ordering using drag-and-drop
• Version planning using drag-and-drop
• Coherent handling of sub-tasks
• Graphical burn-down reporting

The Planning Board helps you schedule many issues over an entire release cycle. GreenHopper also offers a Task Board to show you the work-queue for a version or component. And there is a Chart Board which will show you the burn-down chart for a release.
