Hi!
Our team have used hours for estimation and tracking issues but now we want to try out story point. I know how to configure Jira to allow this, but I wonder if there are any consequences of doing this "midproject". Will it f.ex destroy history and old sprint reports/burndown charts or is this straight forward. We plan to do the switch for the next sprint.

To help the transition, I recommend a few things:
