Jira Migration Assessment – Identify Effort, Risks, and the Optimal Migration Path Early On
Atlassian has announced the End of Life (EOL) for Jira Data Center by 2028. This raises important questions for companies: What risks are involved in a migration? What costs, efforts, and dependencies need to be taken into account? How complex is our existing Jira landscape, really? And how can we successfully manage a controlled transition from Jira Data Center to Jira Cloud?
Our Jira Migration Assessment provides exactly this level of transparency. Through a tool-based analysis of your existing Atlassian landscape and a structured workshop, you’ll receive a reliable assessment of complexity, risks, effort, and potential areas for optimization. The goal is to provide a solid foundation for decision-making regarding your Jira migration—including concrete recommendations for action and a realistic migration path.
Here's what the Jira Migration Assessment is all about
- Transparency Regarding the Complexity, Risks, and Effort Involved in the Jira Migration
- Early Assessment of Project Costs, Duration, and Dependencies
- Identification of opportunities for technical and organizational optimization
- Structured Migration Path from Jira Data Center to Jira Cloud
- The Foundation for Improved Control, Transparency, and Time to Market
