Hello, I received this banner in Jira Service Management stating that starting December 06, 2025 several features such as change management, problem management, and advance incident management will move to Premium. My organization currently using the Standard Plan (We're planning to move to free Plan) and I'd like to ask a few things
Hi @Yuda Saputra ,
Starting December 6th, 2025, certain JSM features are moving from Standard to Premium. But please note that downgrading to Free plan will limit features further so you should consider sticking with Standard if possible :) And to answer your questions:
1) Which specific features will we lose access to?
You can refer to this Important Updates to JSM here. So the following will be Premium only:
Core features like basic ticket creation/handling, customer portal, request types, and standard automation remain in Standard.
2) What will happen to my current plan after December 06 2025?
Your Standard plan stays active. You'll keep all non-moving features, but the listed ones will be disabled (ex: change/problem queues hidden, integrations grayed out).
And if downgrading to Free: Do it before/or after Dec 06 -> As Free loses even more (ex: no asset management, limited automations).
To downgrade/upgrade, you can go to admin.atlassian.com > Billing > Change plan to proceed, but test in a sandbox first. :)
3) Will this changes affect ongoing workflows? Currently our organization used service desk and customer portal for normal ticket handling (change ticket status, ticket automations, customer portal)
As product admin, I recommend reviewing your queues/workflows now. But you should also contact support for personalized advice: support.atlassian.com/contact > Billing/Plans > "Feature changes".
You can refer to the below links:
I hope everything works out for you.
Best,
Peter
Hey, the answers above cover what moves to Premium, so just adding one option for the part about considering a downgrade. If change management is the main thing you'd miss on Standard or Free, you don't necessarily have to choose between losing it and paying for Premium.
Full disclosure, I work on Change Management Lite at ChefStackz. It's a Forge app that brings a change calendar, risk scoring, conflict detection and CAB approvals to JSM without the Premium tier: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/839946999/change-management-lite-for-jira-service-management
Worth weighing against the Premium price difference either way. Hope that helps with the decision.
