Hi everyone,

I’m new to the Atlassian Community and recently joined to learn more about Jira and project management best practices. I have a question about managing projects across multiple Jira nodes:

I’m working in an environment where we have several Jira nodes handling different teams and projects. I want to make sure we set up workflows, permissions, and issue tracking efficiently across these nodes.

Specifically, I’m curious about:

  1. How to maintain consistent workflows and issue types across multiple nodes.

  2. Best practices for permissions and user access management in a multi-node setup.

  3. Strategies for reporting and tracking progress when projects span multiple nodes.

  4. Any pitfalls or common mistakes to avoid when scaling Jira in this way.

I’d love to hear from experienced Atlassian users or admins on how you handle multi-node setups and any advice or tips you can share.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hello @safarnama 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

When you say "nodes" do you mean you have multiple Jira instances, each with its own URL, infrastructure, users, and data?

Are you using Jira Data Center or Jira Cloud? Or a mix of both?

If you are using Jira Data Center, what version are you using?

Are you using an external identity provider, user provisioning, and authentication against an external system?
