Migration to Jira
Thanks to MESKRU's structured approach, we were able to cleanly transfer our previous workflows to Jira and now have a centralized, scalable system.
- Bitburger Digital
Initial situation
Bitburger Digital used a digital workflow tool for project management to speed up communication and increase transparency - but still without a central structure or standardized specifications that would enable a scalable rollout. The migration to Jira was intended to bring clarity, standardization and even more automation.
Objective
- Structuring and standardization of the project boards
- Transfer of existing content including existing automations
- Creation of a scalable Jira project landscape
- Integration into existing collaboration systems (SharePoint)
- Enablement for all teams involved
Our solution
1 Structured migration planning
- Tool analysis and system understanding created for previous workflow tool
- Definition of migration waves (migrate, archive, delete boards)
- Development of a field mapping to Jira
2 Standardization & preparation
- Development of a Jira project standard for Bitburger Digital
- Definition of workflows, fields, role models
- Creation of automations for the transfer to Jira logic
3 Technical implementation
- Migration of the boards incl. testing, validation and standard alignment
- Implementation of complex parent-child mappings & work item types
- Transferring automations to Jira
4 Enablement & rollout
- Jira user structure set up, rights & notifications configured
- Training & onboarding for project teams
- Rollout communication and accompanying documentation
- Care according to the Post-migration support to implement additional needs of the business departments and to optimize processes further
Result
- Jira as a central project management tool for all departments
- Uniform dashboards, standardized workflows, optimization of automated processes
- Scalable setup for future projects
