Easy Agile TeamRhythm - User Story Map & Retrospectives

Story Maps was my 1st Easy Agile application 4 years ago in a server environment. Columns by Epic and swim lanes by sprint with drag and drop capability modernized the UI for JIRA. It is a life saver for backlog owners. Since then, the team has added nice improvements to the filter interface/options and I LOVE the new hide empty swim lanes and epics check box AND the ability to save views. Thanks goodness this app is available in server and cloud because if I can help it, I will never use JIRA without it! I also 2nd other folks comments about Easy Agile's customer support. They are extremely responsive to technical support questions (often user error in my case), and the Product Owners are extremely proactive about gathering customer feedback and input.

I'm on evaluation atm, but will most likely purchase. Lot's of potential, and added value to me on day one. A few things I'm wondering about: - "Collapse all" for sprint swimlanes. Or remember the ones that were collapsed between sessions. I must have collapsed 1 million sprints by now. - Be able to edit story or epic from the Story Map view, as a popup edit rather than open the issues in a separate window. - Duplicate and Delete Story or Epic within the Story Map view. Probably more, but I'll bother the support once I purchase.

  Thanks for the feedback Tobias, greatly appreciated.

  • Collapse Sprints - this is now remembered. If you are on Jira Cloud you've got it already, if you are on Jira Server please upgrade to version 4.1.
  • Edit in the story map - beyond the inline edit for the Summary and estimate field we'd like to pop the edit issue dialog using keyboard shortcuts. Unfortunately that falls under the Jira Cloud limitations that we're waiting on Atlassian to address. This would also cover the Delete use-case (issue actions in general would solve a lot of limitations).
  • Duplicate - I can see us replicating something along the lines of the new split issue functionality Jira Software provides.

  Thanks Tobias, please keep the feedback coming.

Easy Agile has allowed me to better manage our backlog from an Epics point of view. When you have a lot of larger projects going on, it's very helpful to see and plan around projects and epics and maintain that context. After trying a few other apps, Easy Agile ultimately offered the cleanest solution for what we were after.

  Thanks so much for your review Steedan. The team will be really pleased to hear that User Story Maps is working so well for you and your team.

If you already have a lot of epics, you may find this app to not be valuable as it pulls all of your epics in and doesn't seem to let you filter them down to the user story backbone that you actually want.

  Hi Janathan

  Thanks for the review. You actually can use quick filters on the User Story Map to narrow down which Epics you would like to see.

  Kind Regards

It's good, but too expensive

  Thank you for the feedback Raul.

  Atlassian handles all of the Easy Agile billing and licensing. When purchasing an app license the user tier must match that of the Atlassian 'host' product (in this case Jira). This is a requirement of Atlassian Marketplace, as detailed in this Atlassian FAQ.
