I'm using Jira and have been told by the sysadmin that GreenHopper has been installed.
However, I see no evidence that GreenHopper has been installed.
Is there a simple way to determine whether or not GreenHopper has been installed?
Once greenhopper is installed, it needs to be enabled for the project. In the greenhopper administration section you can choose to enable it for all projects or only selected ones.
I believe the default setting has it only for selected projects, with none selected.
Edit: you can find that setting in the administration section under Greenhopper -> Enabled Projects.
The video on GreenHopper illustrates some of the feature that you should be able to see.
In particular, you should be able to access the Planning Board on your project, meaning there should be an 'Agile' link's down-arrow in the top navigation bar and a 'Planning Board' from the resulting dropdown menu.
If you are a JIRA Admin, simply go to the Adminstration > JIRA Administration > System > Plugin, the look at the "Installed plugin" section whether you have "GreenHopper".
I you are not a JIRA Admin, and you are running the latest version of JIRA and GreenHopper, you will see the "Agile" tab besides the "Dashboard", "Projects", "Issues".

We have just started using Team Foundation Server (version 15). I thought I could use Epics to organize features and other work elements but when I create an Epic I don't see where it is and can't see how to associate a Feature to it. Am I misunderstanding the use of Epics? I have been given a single project called Workflow under which I need to manage multiple clients. Epics seems a good container for a client level object.
Thank you!
From your team's backlog page, click the gear icon (gear icon) to open the common configuration team settings.
Click the Backlogs tab and check the boxes of those backlog levels you want your team to manage.

I am trying to customize the Kanban board in TFS 2018 for new work item types I've added.
Following the documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/work/kanban/add-columns , my configuration dialog seems to be missing the Board configuration.
Here's from the documentation
Here's my panel (I've added my user as the team administrator).
Any help in regards to customize my workflow and board is highly appreciated.
At the moment, the Kanban board settings are not available for the Sprint board. The settings page you're showing applies to backlogs such as Epics, Features and Backlog Items. Not to the Sprint backlog.
I would like to configure my Jira board to display assignee icon in Plan view but I couldn't find any options in Jira board settings. Does it require separate plugin?.
This feature was added in JIRA Agile 6.5. My guess would be that you are running an earlier version of the plug-in.

If you have an active support subscription, you should be able to update JIRA Agile through Administration > Add-ons.
I installed JIRA 6.4. I also Crerated Project and Issue in it. I assigned Issue to some user. Now If Administrator wants to monitor isssue status, he can see progress. But how does the asignee i.e the person working on issue update issue status. Actually I am very new to JIRA. Or is there any other plugin for it
Depending on the workflow you have configured for the project, the assignee should see action buttons on the issue that they can click to progress status; e.g. "Resolve Issue" or "Close Issue". These are known as "Transitions" in the workflow and configure how issues can move between certain states.
If you're also using the JIRA Agile add-on, you can create a "Rapid Board" that allows assignees to drag and drop issues between states to create a "Work in Progress" board.
This is just a starter, it's best to run through the tutorials from Atlassian, they will take into account the various project setups that may apply to you.
Also, if you're just getting up and running with JIRA, it may be advisable to upgrade to JIRA Core 7 (or JIRA Software if you require the extra features) as it has project templates/workflows that will make getting up and running a lot quicker.
We have migrated to using Greenhopper in our Jira environment. We have a whole lot of issues where we want to get rid of the "Original Estimate" field, and start using "Story Points".
I have added the "Story Points" to the "Configure Screen" page, however it is only appearing for New issues, the field is not being added to already existing issues.
Does anyone know how to get this field added to already existing issues?
Cheers!

In GreenHopper (Agile -> Planning Board) you will want to ensure that the Story Points field is added to your Story "issue type". Do this via Agile -> Planning Board -> Tools -> Configuration.
If you are able to upgrade to a newer version of JIRA (4.4 for instance) you will see GreenHopper provides a project template. You can switch this over to Scrum and get Epics, Story Points, and much more set up quickly.
Thanks Ben.
