Using Jira-Greenhopper for product management

Ton van Daelen

Hi there -

Id like to get in touch with product managers using JG. We have just started using the system and I'd like to learn from other product managers what works and what doesnt. Things I am interested in doing:

• Prioritize epics and user stories based on customer value
• Best practices around using themes
• Dealing with dependencies between products
• Team centric versus product centric organization of JG
• How to quickly regroup epics and user stories
• Assign names of customers to a feature request
• Creating a roadmap report for a product summarizing epics and user stories

Just send me an email or reply to this posting so we can get a discussion going.

Thanks - Ton

Greenhopper is great (we don't use it, but I'd love to). But, has your team considered using notecards (XP style) or Kanban with post-its on a board? Just throwing a tool at things is not a good idea, even though Greenhopper + Jira is awesome and highly recommended by many. I would consider what would work best for the teams and products before making the decision on Greenhopper.
