Hi,
My company is finally migrating from our data center to Jira Cloud. Our manager wants all teams' Jira Projects to live in one project when in Jira Cloud. He wants teams under projects to be able to run their sprints. Is this possible? 

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Hello @Johnny Gotham 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

I'm not sure that I understand your question.

Jira Projects in Data Center equate to Jira Project in a Jira Cloud instance. Are you saying your manager wants all the issues in various Jira DC Projects to be merged into a single Jira Project when you migrate to Jira Cloud?

As for sprint management, if the users can run the sprints in their boards in Jira DC Projects, then they would be able to run the sprints under the same boards in the same projects when they are migrated to Jira Cloud, as long as you grant the users access to the Jira Cloud instance.

 

Side note: If your company is feeling trepidatious or overwhelmed about the migration process and impacts, you might want to engage an Atlassian Solution Partner with a Cloud Migration specialization to help you. You can find partners that support your region in the Atlassian Partner Directory. I work for Praecipio, which is an Atlassian Platinum Solution Partner with a Cloud Specialization. If we support your geographic region, we would be happy to discuss the services we can offer you to support your migration effort.

The answer depends on the type of project that was set up.  Will this be a Company Managed or Team Managed?  My guess is that it would be company managed and it that case the answer is 'yes.  Each team can have their own Board and their own sprint schedule.
