Hi @Manisha Grandhi !

 It really depends on many factors.....

- how organised (or unorganised) are your Jira instances

- the size of your instances, number of issues, attachments

- what and how much configs or data you have in your projects, do you have lot of duplicates of configs, missing items, missing references etc...

- do you want to migrate your servers or projects manually (human error)

- do you want to use a marketplace app to do this work for you

...and many others..

 

But if you want help and get your project migrations done more automatically, you can check https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211147/project-configurator-for-jira?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview app that does project migrations exactly. 

 

Hope this helps.
