With Atlassian’s Data Center journey coming to an end in 2029, organizations still running Jira Data Center need to start planning their move to Jira Cloud well before the deadline.
In this video, we discuss why waiting until the last minute can make your migration significantly more difficult, especially when your environment includes customizations, integrations, apps, databases, automations, and complex Jira configurations.
We cover:
• Why waiting until 2028 could be risky
• The challenges of a “big bang” migration
• What can go wrong during a Data Center → Cloud migration
• Why complex Jira environments need proper planning
• When organizations should start preparing
• Why 2027 can be a much better target than waiting until the deadline
A successful Jira Cloud migration isn't just about moving your data. It's about understanding your current environment, identifying dependencies, planning the migration strategy, and preparing your teams for the change.
Thinking about moving from Jira Data Center to Cloud? Start planning before you're forced to.
