How to archive a team in Jira Align(don't delete)?

[#1]

Why?

AS clients work through a lot of different org changes and continue to manage these particular changes at each levels of the hierarchy there are some gaps they would lie to account for. They want to archive/clear up existing teams and give them a new start by leaving the JA instance lean and clean.

Recommendation-

We recommend to do this around PI boundaries

We don’t recommend to delete a team from either JA or JIRA(as it leads to lost history and messed up historical reports). Our recommendation is to only inactivate the teams in JA.

In Jira cleanup team data-

• Move all assigned items back to the backlog

• Make sure all active sprints are removed from the baord

• Make sure no member is allocated to the team

In Jira Align inactivate the team.

• Go to Team

• Select Active=NO

• Go to Admin console- program

• remove team associated with the program

Do we have to delete the board id mapping in Jira setting? Say i want to switch a team from agile team to kanban and i have a new rapidview id to integrate can i still archive the team and integrate the board for the same project team. Do i have to delete the project id and add new in Jira settings?

What is the way to delete the team from a program? I do not see that option on the above screen. I can only change the program of a team in a different screen

Sundar-

we don't recommend deleting as that will cause you to lose history

Best would be-

1)to clean up team backlog in Jira

2)inactivate the team in JA as shown above (no need to delete the board)

3)create a new team in Jira as a Kanban team and integrate it with the JA program
