Hi everyone,
I’m currently evaluating a cloud migration from Jira DC to Cloud. I’ve noticed a few challenges along the way and would love to hear about your experiences with them.

First up is the issue of apps. We use a wide variety of apps—ranging from ScriptRunner and Structure to Zephyr Scale. Many functions have been restructured in the Cloud and won't work the same way anymore. I’m wondering whether it’s better to try phasing out these apps during the migration or to wait a year until we’ve settled into the new environment. I’d plan to license Jira Core for 2–3 years upfront but keep the apps on an annual basis. In Confluence, we have the "Better Content Archiving" tool, which has effectively never been used; we simply can’t get users to adopt it, and it just makes things more complicated to manage.

Then there’s the topic of screens: We have countless customized workflows built with various screens and workflow configurations. I’m not even sure if the visual distinction between specific actions (view, edit, etc.) still exists. In some cases, we use transition screens to prompt for specific fields only when needed. Looking at the Cloud configuration gives me a bit of a headache—are these kinds of setups still possible? We’ve built up operational processes over years that, I suspect, will now have to be overhauled due to the migration.

Not to mention the language-related challenges. Because our environment is set up bilingually, we have a massive proliferation of translations. For instance, DC doesn't offer a translation for "Resolution," so those values ​​are sometimes present in both languages, hope Cloud provides clear functions for configuring translations.

To be honest, I’m worried that the Solution Partner might be downplaying the technical hurdles just to close the deal.

Finally, there’s the compliance issue. According to the online documentation, the Guard solution doesn't offer a way to pin account information. I see this as a problem for companies in highly regulated industries. I'm curious to hear your opinions :)

Hello everyone,

I had the chance to test the cloud environments for the first time today, as we’re currently still working on the data centre.

A brief word about our company. We’re a company with a licence for 2,000 users and we use the standard plugins. We use ScriptRunner for behaviours and simple scripts, and Zephyr for test management.

I have to say, I’m simply overwhelmed by the new UI. As an admin with seven years’ experience in Jira administration, I’m finding it a struggle. From project administration via the side menu bar right through to configuring the board itself, I’m finding it hard to get to grips with it. My concerns are particularly significant given the high regard in which these tools are held within our company.

I already know that users won’t exactly be jumping for joy at the prospect of using the new tool. I think a fair bit of preparation will need to be done during the hypercare phase to ensure users don’t simply start looking for alternatives.

What has been your experience following the migration? We’re at the stage where we want to review the solution with a Solutions Partner, but I have to say, I don’t really like the new UI and, in the worst-case scenario, that could be a deal-breaker for our migration. Have you looked at any alternatives yet, or how has the new environment been received by your users?

Dear Sir or Madam,

We are currently in the planning phase for our move to the cloud. Within this organisation, we use the Jira and Confluence applications. We would also like to look into the cloud solution.

I would like to draw your attention to the key question, which is directed at those who have already migrated.

I would appreciate your feedback on your experiences with the migration. In your view, which core functionalities are crucial for using the cloud?

In this context, we should ask ourselves what business impact the use of the cloud has compared to the on-premises version. We should also look at the key features that make a difference to you.

We have also looked at Rovo, but at the moment I am still lacking detailed use cases that really bothered me about the DC. That is why it would be important for me that the cloud version makes a positive impression on me.

I am looking forward for your responses.

Hallo zusammen,

wir haben einen Balkon bestellt bei unserem Wunsch Stahlbauer. Der Balkon ist freistehend als Stahlkonstruktion und wurde eben als Vorstellbalkon geplant. Leider hat sich beim geplanten Liefertermin ergeben, dass in der Produktion etwas falsch gelaufen ist und sie nochmal nachbessern mussten, sodass sich die Lieferung um 2 Wochen verzögert hat.

Blöd nur, dass die Mieter zwei Tage nach dem eigentlichen Termin eingezogen sind und nun für den eigentlichen Termin keinen Balkon hatten. Da dieser noch mit dem Bodenbelag versehen werden musste (Eigenleistung, wie abgesprochen), war der Balkon erst 1 Monat nach Einzug fertig, sodass hier eine Mietkürzung meinerseits gewährt wurde.

Der Balkon ist recht teuer und die Verhandlung mit dem Stahlbauer steht demnächst an. Was seht ihr hier als eine faire Option bzgl. möglichem Teilerlass des Kaufpreises. Ich hätte hier 5% abgezogen, was in etwas dem doppelten der Mietkürzung entspricht - schließlich habe ich am initialen Termin Urlaub sowie eine Teilsperrung der Straße beantragt.

Bei einer Summe von 20.000€ wären das 1.000€ - seht ihr das als fair oder was würdet ihr fordern?

Danke vorab.
