What's New in Agile Toolbox: Emoji Reactions, Card Groups, Vote Budgets and a Consensus Check

Agile Toolbox for Jira's September 2026 release reworks both ceremonies. Retrospectives gain emoji reactions, vote budgets, a facilitator-controlled voting phase, card groups that keep every card, an action column that creates Jira issues in one pass, and a timer. Planning Poker gains a choice of estimation method, a Unanimous / Close / Split label after every reveal, a round timer and Kanban board support. The app now runs as a native Forge app with dark mode.
