Cloud Migration

Migrate to Cloud. Leave nothing SAFe® behind.

Atlassian Server reaches end of life in 2029. Protect your PI planning, project hierarchies, and team structures. We help you get there safely.

Ready for take-off?

Plan your journey to Agile Hive Cloud with clarity and confidence.

Migrating to Cloud is more than transferring Jira issues. It means protecting the hierarchies, planning rhythms, dependencies, and shared visibility that keep work moving across your organization.

Follow a structured migration path in six clear phases. Test your route before go-live, understand what can move, and get support from people who know Agile Hive and scaled-agile delivery.

You don't have to take this journey alone – we are here to support you!

Why 2029 Is Closer Than You Think

Atlassian Server end of life is approaching fast. Teams that start planning now avoid last-minute pressure — and protect everything they've built in Jira.

Migration Planning

Plan early.
Take-off when you are ready.

Your migration does not have to begin with a deadline. March 2029 may look distant on a calendar — but for an enterprise Jira environment, starting early creates valuable room to assess options, resolve compliance requirements, run test migrations, and choose a cutover window that fits your business. The goal is not to rush. It is to avoid having important decisions forced into the final stages.

Migration Window

Choose a migration window around Planning Intervals (PIs), major releases, and critical business dates.

Scope Decisions

Decide what should move, what should be redesigned, and what can be archived.

Test Migrations

Test representative data and user journeys before production cutover.

Stakeholder Alignment

Give security, compliance, and business stakeholders time to validate the Cloud end state.

Team Readiness

Prepare teams for changed ways of working, not only a changed URL.

Your Flight Route

A structured migration path
in six clear phases.

Every environment is different, but the journey becomes easier to govern when everyone can see the route. Atlassian's six migration phases provide that structure. Agile Hive adds the scaled-agile perspective needed to protect the relationships between strategy, planning, and delivery.

1

Inventory your Jira environment, apps, integrations, users, security requirements, and Agile Hive operating model. Identify the hierarchies, dependencies, teams, ARTs, Planning Intervals, custom fields, permissions, roadmaps, and reports that matter to day-one continuity.

Outcome: An agreed scope baseline, named owners, known gaps, and measurable success criteria.

Migration Radar

Here's what's on the radar
for your journey to Cloud

Your destination Cloud might include some new characteristics compared to what you're used to — but there's no need to be scared. We are developing full feature parity between Agile Hive Data Center and Cloud to support your teams effectively.

We will help you compare your requirements with the current Agile Hive Migration Scope and identify any decisions that depend on service-assisted or roadmap capabilities.

Area
Customer-facing status
Planning guidance
Jira projects, issues, boards, and sprints
Migrated through Atlassian tooling
Included in core reconciliation and user acceptance testing.
Agile Hive issue hierarchy links
Migrated with Atlassian tooling after installing the Migration Helper App
Test representative parent-child chains at every hierarchy level.
Agile Hive project hierarchy (teams and ART)
Can be imported after the migration in Agile Hive itself
Confirm the day-one hierarchy needed for navigation and reporting.
Agile Hive custom fields
Migrated with Atlassian tooling after installing the Migration Helper App
Validate field mapping, values, automation, and reporting behavior.
Planning Intervals and iterations
Can be imported after the migration in Agile Hive itself
Define active, future, and historical PI requirements before the scope decision date.
Roadmap information
Migrated with Atlassian tooling after installing the Migration Helper App
Decide what must be reproduced, rebuilt, or retained as history.
Historical reporting
Depends on the report and underlying data
Review each critical report with its business owner.
Test Migration

Turbulence may occur on your journey
but you can be prepared.

A representative test migration turns assumptions into evidence. It gives your team time to measure duration, validate mappings, rehearse communications, identify defects, and improve the runbook before production cutover.

Test as often as you want — without overwriting your live data.

Migration Engineering

We're on this journey together

Bring Agile Hive Migration Engineering into the journey. You know your organization — the hierarchies, the planning cadence, the teams that depend on continuity. We know the Agile Hive data model, the migration tooling, and how to close the gap between a working Server setup and a confident Cloud go-live.

Start with a structured migration assessment. Bring your Jira inventory, your Agile Hive configuration, and your day-one requirements — we'll take it from there.
