Has anyone been able to set up multiple, independent instances of Jira within a corporate firewall, and if so, what are the challenges in doing so? Additionally, is it possible to get those independent instances to integrate at some level, when projects force the need for that integration?
I know this question is counterintuitive given that Jira is meant to provide issue tracking across the enterprise, but we are in a situation that requires asking about the limitations of segementing Jira within the same organization, and then allowing cross communication between those segments when it's necessary. We have several internal business segments that follow different work-flow processes and general protocols based on thier individual needs. The challenge we are now having is that projects within those business segments are forcing us to cross segment boundaries we've never crossed before, and I want to know if Jira can handle disperate workflows until we are able to function as one true enterprise level IT organization.
Many thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions!
