As a JIRA system admin I want to decide, if my users see GreenHopper Classic, RapidBoard or both in the JIRA UI

    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      As the RapidBoard is still so immature for our big organization we cannot start using it.

      In order do not confuse our 2,000 users - and for a later migration - we need this little config switch on system level. confusing users means wasting time and money!

      PLEASE DO NOT CLOSE THIS REQUEST (as you did for others before)

      Please be fair and give other customers the chance to vote on this request as well.

      Thank you.

            Hi everyone,

            Thanks so much for your votes and comments on this feature request.

            We know there are features missing from the new Scrum and Kanban boards. We believe that this feature request is a band aid solution to those missing features. We believe that this feature would take time and energy away from us making the new boards even better.

            While we understand the desire for this feature it will add complexity to the product and hinder adoption by new teams. Complexity of the user interface due to configuration options is the most common complaint we receive from customers, and our continued goal is to make GreenHopper easier for teams to adopt. Further, adding this option adds to the ongoing cost of testing and maintenance, which hiders the teams velocity over the long term.

            As we continue work on delivering many new features in GreenHopper there are a few options open to you. You can start switching individual teams over to the new boards as they complete their current sprint, project or release. Alternatively, you can continue to use the Planning, Task, Chart and Released Boards and the current functionality by remaining on GreenHopper 5.10.6 and JIRA 5.1.2 , or by using the 'Classic...' option under the Agile menu in GreenHopper 6.0 or later.

            Just like any Agile team we have ordered the backlog based upon what we believe provides the greatest value to our customers. There are now over 10,000 customers worldwide so we try to find the right balance between the varied needs of this large, and growing, group. It is not an easy task. Thankfully we have many passionate customers that are able to provide feedback to help drive our vision and order the backlog - thank you!

            Thanks for your patience, and we hope you appreciate our open approach to feature requests and backlog ordering.

            Cheers,
            Shaun Clowes

            Agreed; the classic board uses versions, the rapid board uses sprints. Having both is becoming very confusing. We need to be able to disable one or the other.
