Change Board Owner

You can now change the owner of an agile board in the Board Settings panel. Simply click the name of the current owner and choose a new owner from the drop-down list. This feature helps you manage your agile boards and adapt to organizational changes. Never worry about abandoned boards again.

New Feature

Simplified Board CommandsWe have simplified the syntax for commands that reference agile boards. This improvement lets you reference an agile board without having to specify a sprint. You can now perform the following actions with commands:
  • Add an issue to an agile board with the command add <board name>. The issue is added to the current sprint.

  • Remove an issue from any sprint on an agile board with the command remove <board name>.
