MIGRATION IMPACT ANALYSIS
12
PARTS OF A STRATEGIC MIGRATION
DATA MIGRATION
LIFT AND SHIFT DATA
• Optimize configuration for
target destination
• Improve on current configuration
issues and performance
• Adjust configuration to improve
visibility, traceability, and data
consistently to report
and/or scale
• Enforce best practices of
solution capabilities
• Ensure proper foundation is
laid for growth and scalability
OPTIMIZATION AND
GOVERNANCE
OPTIMIZE CONFIGURATION
• Source and Target Data Analysis
(Not needed with impact analysis)
• Target System Setup and
Data Mapping
• Data Extraction from Source
• Data transformation for
Target import
• Data Load to Target
• Validation and Acceptance
• Post Migration Support
• Integrations
TRANSFORMATION

Optimization Considerations
Functionality, Scaling and Compliance
WHY OPTIMIZE?
Reduce Complexity
Add Complexity introduces opportunities for issues and challenges as well as impacts the ability for usage across the greater organization
Reduce Cost of Management & Maintenance
Some of the greatest costs associated with the Atlassian Ecosystemcome with the cost of overhead and management – simplify to reduce the need for staff to
just help manage the ecosystem
Easy To Add Complexity, Difficult To Remove It
Simplicity significantly reduces both the complexity and cost associated with the management and maintenance of your systems
Simplicity Is Important
Start Simple & Iteratively Enhance
15
HOW DOES OPTIMIZATION HELP?
Enterprise-Wide Reporting Roadmapping, Dependencies, & More
Strategic architectural planning includes projects, schemes, templates, and access management helping to reduce the time and money associated with
rearchitecting later
Prevent Unintentionally Silo’ing
Standardization enables enterprise-wide reporting and reduces the overall cost and complexity of administration and significantly impacts the reliability and quality
of reporting
Ensure Real-Time, Reliable, On-Demand Reporting Capabilities
Simplicity significantly reduces both the complexity and cost associated with the management and maintenance of your systems
Why Standardization Is Important
Getting The Most Out Of Jira
16
WHAT TO OPTIMIZE?
Projects
Architecture Should Be Consistent - Impacts To On Demand Reliable, Real-time, Reporting
Schemes / Templates
Schemes & Templates Help Manage The System– Impacts To Total Cost Of Ownership, Overhead, Management
Impacts To Ecosystem
Evaluation Of Impacts To Ecosystem Are Critical – Without This You Can Inadvertently Silo An Organization Or Negatively Impact Other Area’s
Strategic Architectural Design is Key
Ensuring You Get Out Of It What You Bought It For

GOVERNANCE MATTERS
Mitigate Risk & Maintain Compliance
Ensure Data Integrity & Improve Data Quality
Set, Maintain & Educate On Standards & Best Practices
Evaluate Impact & Manage Changes To The Ecosystem
Maintain Health & Long-Term Continuity While Reducing Ownership Cost
A Robust Governance Framework Is Critical To Protect Your Ecosystem

CLOUD GOVERNANCE FEATURES
• Audit Configuration Changes
• Backup Automation
• Sandbox Automation
• Project Archiving
• Access Control
• Process and Data Automation
• Time and Bundle New Releases
Real World Examples
What It Really Looks Like
WHICH APPROACH IS BEST?
22
OPTIMIZE BEFORE MIGRATION
• May simplify migration data set
and mapping
• May minimize migration risk
• May be a forcing function to have
business teams align on
configuration standards
• May cost less to optimize first if
data sets are large or disparate
• Business requirement or
licensing need to migrate fast
• Data set is small or not
complex
• Need more time to
standardized configuration
for governance
OPTIMIZE AFTER MIGRATION
CLIENT #1
Profile: Financial Services, Fortune 500, Security compliance
requirements
Problem: ~1,000,000 issues, most out of date, no governance,
want to migrate first and clean up/optimize later.
Recommendation: Migrate after optimization due to
increased cost and complexity, implement governance
process, enable/train end users on the optimized
configuration
Result: Lowered migration cost, hit the ground running on day
1, implemented governance to keep instance clean and cost
effective (easier to manage & support)
CLIENT #2
Profile: Technology, SMB, extreme growth, little process
Problem: ~2.5M issues, want to archive older/unused projects
due to compliance concerns, no governance to minimize
sprawl
Recommendation: Leverage Atlassian Enterprise Cloud
multi-site functionality to enable data access and minimize
system impact and footprint which lowers cost, implement
governance
Result: Met compliance and data retention needs, reduced
migration risk by reducing data set size and complexity,
implemented governance
CLIENT #3
Profile: Healthcare, Fortune 100, multiple Atlassian instances
to consolidate
Problem: To reduce cost and complexity, client wanted to
consolidate 3 instances into one enterprise instance while
meeting governance and compliance needs
Recommendation: Optimize each instance to align on an
enterprise standard to reduce migration complexity and risk,
training and enablement for end users
Result: Partnered with COE to define and apply configuration
standard that met business and end user needs, migration
went smoothly within maintenance window, no impact to end
users
CLIENT #4
Profile: Healthcare, Fortune 500, starting digital
transformation, Rally client moving to Atlassian
Problem: Client wants to leverage Rally functionality and
migrate Rally data into Jira, need to meet data retention policy
Recommendation: Architect Jira configuration to key Rally
functionality, migrate data based on mappings, conduct end
user training and enablement
Result: Partnered with PMO to enable Jira usage based on
best practices, enabled based on team roles and
responsibilities in Jira, all data migrated with no data loss,
minimized impacted to end user usage
Analyze and manage potential migration
Leverage best practice configurations that ensure good
change management, permissions, and access
management
Be deliberate in your optimization approach and the
functionality you need to support your business processes
Simplification makes management and governance easier
Invest in determining whether you need to optimize before
or after your migration
