Is it possible to integrate Jira Data Center with Jira Product Discovery Cloud?

[Domagoj Mihaljevic]

We are using Jira Data Center solution with approx. 1000 users and we would like to start using Jira Product Discovery. 

Would it be possible to integrate those tools? Migration to Jira Cloud solution is not an option at this point of time.

Hi there! this is in our roadmap to evaluate and schedule. For now, no concrete plans. Any chance you might share a bit what motivates you to use JPD and what prevents the move to cloud, to help us prioritize? if you prefer to speak directly, we would love to hear your feedback from the "Give feedback" button in the product!

Best,

Amina, JPD Product Mgmt team

Amina, thank you for your reply!

I cannot give you an exact answer to your question why DC and not Cloud. This was decided some time ago, and my colleagues claim there has been a strong reason to do it that way and that has not changed until present day. I will explore more to find the exact reasons, but regardless, you can understand how large enterprises are hard to shift, so migrating everything to cloud now would be a major blocker (not only business-wise, but budget-wise, correct me if I am wrong). 

About your other question, what was my motivation to start using Jira Product Discovery - we as a company are heavily focused on minimizing the number of tools we internally use, and since Jira is our main go-to tool (we are a development company), JPD seemed like a logical choice because it supports all the features I need as a Product Owner/Manager.

Amina,

we face similar issue, while we understand, as a next step we need to move to cloud, we are heavily using JS DC, so moving will take some time (heavy on Script Runner as well).

but i do want to push JPD internally as we do have a need, but without giving a proper solution for integration between the products - i will not get approval to start using JPD cloud (it could serve as a catalizator for moving on it's own)

how can i reach the JPD roadmap ? and what solutions do you suggest until then?

thanks

Hello @Domagoj Mihaljevic and @Lior Efraim 

I'm currently working with Amina to run some research on this topic with some of our data center customers to learn more about your requirements. 

I'd love you to both apply to participate in the research here.

We got a similar need. We were a startup using Jira and JPD and now we're integrating into a company that acquired us and that runs a Jira Server with thousands of users.

It's difficult for us to keep JPD, which made a good impression in other departments, since there will be no connection from Server to JPD.

@Natalie RowlandI think the linked ticket might be wrong, that seems to be just an issue with the licensing of JPD.

Thanks for letting me know Saul, I've updated the link. @Amina Bouabdallah may like to follow up with you about your needs. I'd love to know which departments are using JPD.

Would also like to know when JPD becomes compatible with JDC.  Can relate with others on thread whose orgs are on JDC and the lack of integration would be the disqualifier to using a product like JPD.

Hello,

My company is also on Jira Data Center with extensive customizations.

My Atlassian account representatives/team are aware of the difficulties to replicate those features on Cloud.

Product owners/managers here like Jira Product Discovery but need to connect/synchronize real-time data from JDC.

Currently, we're testing other tools but would prefer to use Jira PD.

Additionally, as mentioned by others previously, using JPD with JDC can be a catalyst for Jira Cloud migration.

At least it will remove a technical concern from my list for Jira DC to Cloud migration checklist.

Thank you.

Has there been any update here? We have a large data center JIRA instance and are also interested in using product discovery.
