Migrating a JIRA project to JIRA SERVICE MANAGEMENT

Hello,

What is the best practice to migrate/upgrade a project from 'JIRA' cloud to 'JIRA Service Management'?

Do I have a way to update/upgrade an existing project?

I would like to:

* avoid recreating everything from scratch

* keep existing issue history

 

We are scaling a JIRA with a very limited scope to JIRA Service Management in order to support a wider variety of user/usage.

HI @GBE ,

I hope someone else will jump in with additional tips, but first thing is that you can bulk update issues, for example moving them from a Software to a Jira Service Management project, in order to keep the existing issue history.

I'm going to assume that you mean you've been using a Jira Software project with limited scope, and that now you want to set up a JSM project. It's important to understand the differences in how a Jira Software project works compared to a Service Management project. For example, JSM projects have request types, queues, and SLAs and Software projects do not. I don't see a way around avoiding having to do some configuration for your request types and portal set up. There are a lot of templates available now, so you can get started with something that already has request types, workflows, and basic queues.

Here is a discussion to better understand the differences between the two types of projects:
