Jira Core and BigPicture

[andrea]

1. Does anybody know any well-written article, guidelines or tutorial about Big Picture? I'm having troubles understanding some things in it.

2. If I start a task in Big Picture, it will not be shown in the section projects on Jira. Why is that?

3. What is the difference between Scope, Board and Roadmap? Of course, if there is a comprehensive guide on the Big Picture, please share it here.

Thanks in advance,

Andrea

The process is a bit different whether you are running on cloud or server, but this has been discussed several times here on Answers - here is one of the most recent threads. First you need to merge the project configuration using a tool like Configuration Manager for JIRA and the use the JIRA project importer to import all the data. Check-out Configuration Manager's documentation for more details on moving projects between instances.

Unless you have a really simple, pretty much off-the-shelf JIRA installation, merging is complex.  The Configuration Manager that Petar refers to will save you a huge amount of work!

one-time merge and decommission one of the instances

Do you want to do a one-time merge and decommission one of the instances or you want to setup an ongoing synchronization?
