Hi everybody,
I need advice.
In our company we are currently using a very (very very) old JIRA Version, we never update it because we used an internal pluging to manage external emails that wasn't compatible with jira 7.
Finally we keep another addon supported in latest version and we are ready to upgrade our product.
So we have to upgrade manually, from 6.4.1 to the latest version (a long road to go!).
We are facing with problems and honestly I'm not satisified by my Jira, because there was a time in wich too many administrator used jira (without a common strategy and point of view) and there is a mess with custom field not used, old workflow and so on. So that's the point: it is better to go on, update the jira version and after (if I survive!) schedule a "jira refactoring" or it is better to instal a Jira software brand new version (the latest, of course) and migrate the projects?
I dont' even know if the second option is possible because of licence problems.
Dear Rachel,
you are such an inspiring person! Thank you so much.
I'm going deep in my update, I guess that the most hard work is from 6.x to 7.x
Thank you so much for giving me the right way to see the problem.
