Finally you can track issues in your language,” said Vadim Gurov, YouTrack Team Lead. “On the Agile side of things, we’ve used all the valuable feedback we received since Agile planning was implemented in YouTrack, and took it to the next level. With the latest enhancements, you can now create any kind of Agile board you may need.”
