I have created a team-managed project and need to convert this project to company-managed. Is it possible?

Hello @Ashok Shembde 

Converting from team managed to company managed and vice versa is not possible. The workaround for this is in your case to create a new company managed project and move all of the issues from team managed to company managed projects. There are some things to consider when moving from team managed to company managed projects:

• Board statuses: If you customized your team-managed board, you'll need to set up the same statuses in your company-managed project's workflow. Only Jira admins can create and modify statuses and workflows. Learn more.

• Custom fields: If you use custom fields in your team-managed project, a Jira admin needs to recreate the fields and add them to screen schemes and field configurations in your company-managed project. Custom field data will need to be recreated, otherwise it will be lost.

• Issue types: If you added your own issue types to your team-managed project, you'll need to have a Jira admin recreate these using an issue type scheme that they associate to your new company-managed project. Learn more.

• Project access: Access to company-managed projects is controlled by a permissions scheme. Only your Jira admin can update your company-managed project's permission scheme. Learn more.

• Project and issue keys: Jira will automatically update the issue keys of migrated issues to reflect their new project. Any existing links to old issue keys will be automatically redirected.

• Reports: Reports data won't be saved. Even though your issues will be retained, data for your project's Velocity and Burnup reports won't transfer over, and will be lost.

• Story points estimation: This data will be lost. This is because the custom field that Jira uses to store estimates in company-managed projects (Story points) is different to the custom field used in team-managed projects (Story point estimate).
