How to effectively manage large amount of JPD projects?

[Tomáš Vrabec]

Hello community.

One of my client is considering moving to Cloud, part of that, could be a benefit of having Jira Product Discovery. 

After alpha phase, they do have around 30 Product Discovery projects.

Now came the pain. 

The auditors came with some requests, mandatory fields, changes in workflows, sync of roles etc.

In every, single, project and multiple types inside. 

Is there any way / plugin / app / Atlassian DB help how to avoid spending like a two weeks be monkey clicking project by project? 

This is going to be very expensive in MDs and huge downside of cloud :( 

(I got just info that all JPD project must share settings, no discussion) 

Thanks for idea

Hello Tomas,

Jira Product Discovery projects are not currently available as company-managed projects  however you can keep project configurations consistent across all your product discovery projects by reusing an existing project’s setup when creating a new one. This copies fields, views, and workflows from the selected project.

Check more info here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-product-discovery/docs/create-a-jira-product-discovery-project/

Global fields setting can help as well: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-product-discovery/docs/create-and-manage-global-fields/

Also check on JPD premium capabilities where you can get among others

• standardized practices across multiple projects
• Aggregated roadmaps
• Granular access controls

That do not answer my question. Now I do have 30 JPD projects, where I should add or change 4 statuses and 3 types. What should I do? I need to keep all of them consist.

Hello Tomas,

Unfortunately for statuses and types you need to change them manually as JPD uses what is available in Jira and currently the global issue types are not supported (there are future plans to support them though however no details yet).

It's a different case for the fields which can be global as I mentioned before.

Oh how I would love if Atlassian would provide the ability to create JPD spaces as company-managed...

This comment gave me hope, but I haven't heard anything more about it becoming a thing.
