• Atlassian, specifically their migration team
• An Atlassian Partner. Partners are able provide hands-on support for migrations, where needed.

Hi @Firdos Siddiqui 

Migration projects are typically complex and require careful planning and strategy. The following factors should be considered before Jira on-premise to Jira Cloud migration.

• Project key restrictions: Jira on-premise allows underscore (_) and few other characters in project key, whereas on-cloud allows only letters in project key. Any migration needs to factor in strategy to address these differences.
• Field Template In-consistency: Analyze if there is any field scheme configuration difference between your on-premise and on-cloud instance. Make sure you have a strategy for bridging those differences if needed.
• Plugin entity context and handling: If you are using plug-ins, those may require additional/special handling. Any such activities should be planned as a part of the migration plan.
• Impact on user productivity: Various migration approaches can drive different levels of disruptions and impact productivity. Some may require the project or the Jira instance to be in read-only mode for an extended period. The cost and impact of disruption should be factored into the plan.
• Impact on Jira: Migration activities will result in additional load on Jira servers. Proper planning should be done to ensure appropriate scaling of the Jira server and isolation of migration load so that the regular activities are not impacted.

For migration from Jira to Jira on a cloud, there are two broad approaches:

1. Use Cloud Migration Tool: Jira provides a native migration tool. It does involve some downtime and migration of plugin data that needs to be checked based on an individual plug-in.

2. Use a 3rd part migration tool: This allows a seamless transition taking care of all the above-mentioned aspects so that you can experience a smooth and rich data migration without impacting your business continuity and productivity.
