Atlassian is already well known by agile software development teams for
providing tools that complement agile practices, including Continuous
Integration (Bamboo), Code Reviews (Crucible) and Code Coverage Analysis
(Clover).

According to Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian CEO and co-founder, "We want to give
agile developers a seamless approach to project management within JIRA.
GreenHopper is hands-down one of the best tools for agile project management and
we're thrilled to bring the product on board."

In tandem with the acquisition, Atlassian has launched a new microsite called
"agile @ Atlassian" to share perspectives on agile development and explain how

Great Integrations

GreenHopper for JIRA is now available for three Atlassian product offerings:
JIRA, JIRA Enterprise Hosted and JIRA Studio.

"The impact of GreenHopper for JIRA customers will be substantial," according to
one customer, Cody Burleson. "GreenHopper vastly improves the ability to
prioritize and visualize priorities in JIRA and this is something every JIRA
user can appreciate regardless of any particular purpose of use - whether that
is bug tracking, trouble ticketing, project management, Agile development or
anything else."

GreenHopper now comes fully integrated into JIRA Studio, Atlassian's agile
development suite, at no additional charge. JIRA Studio integrates popular
Atlassian products as a hosted integrated service, including JIRA, Confluence,
FishEye, Crucible and the Open Source source control manager, Subversion. The
entire suite starts at only $25/user/month.

GreenHopper can be purchased as an add-on for JIRA Enterprise Hosted and JIRA on
premise software. Pricing for GreenHopper starts at $350 for a perpetual-use
license.
