We are looking at consolidating 4 Jira Software cloud instances - but some groups use a separate Jira Project for each real-world project - and other groups have 1 Project per Program Group/Platform and use either "Component" or "Fix Version" fields to record the name of the "Real-World Project" that issue relates to. This lets everyone work out of their one Platform while doing work across multiple "projects" - also we can relate one issue to multiple "Real-world projects" this way - as some digital development work impact multiple "real-world projects" - since Epic link cannot do that many Epics related on any 1 issue/
What are your thoughts? Do you spin up a separate Jira Project for each real-world effort?
Trying to understand the various Advantages/Disadvantages and possible future repercussions.
