🚀 OpenProject 17.4 is here, bringing important improvements for teams migrating from Jira.
This release makes the #JiraMigrator available and introduces support for importing basic custom fields, helping teams preserve structured project data during migration.
Additional highlights include improvements for agile planning and more:
🔹 New backlog buckets for better backlog organization
🔸 Improved drag and drop interactions in Backlogs
🔹 Start and Complete buttons directly in the sprint header
🔸 Easier workflow configuration by copying settings between roles
All cloud instances have already been updated. If you are running OpenProject on premises, update to the latest version to explore the new features.
📢 We also released OpenProject 17.3.2 and 17.2.4 with important bug fixes and security updates.
A very special thank you goes to Mercedes AMG, Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin, Stadt Köln, Deutsche Bahn and Zentrum Digitale Souveränität (ZenDiS) for sponsoring released or upcoming features.
And of course, thank you to our amazing Community and everyone contributing to OpenProject 💙
