Sandbox to Production migrations are complicated

In Jira Cloud, Administrators have to manually recreate any configuration changes made in the sandbox again in the production side.

Wasting valuable time in an error-prone manner and without sufficient decision making tools

These complications create a lot of risks

A simple change in single configuration object can have a ripple effect on the entire site.  Lack of decision making tools can lead to un-necessary downtime of your Jira site.

 

 

This also creates a lot of manual work

There is no automated way to copy configuration objects from Sandbox to Production site in Jira (or any site to any site!).  The result? Jira Administrators have to spend hours recreating configurations directly into production. 
This is where we expand further on the model and add an example.

and none of it is tracked or logged

Documenting and tracking your change management is mandatory for many organizations who use change related best practices such as ITIL or who adhere to standards such as SOC2 and ISO. 

This is where we expand further on the model and add an example.

In practice, not having change logs can also make tracking down problems a nightmare for Jira Administrators.
