The purpose of this use case is to demonstrate how to leverage the capabilities of Power Admin for Jira to perform a comprehensive Jira project configuration clean-up and performance tuning. This use case offers additional day-to-day value for administrators because it allows them to easily check for duplicate or similar configuration elements before adding them as a part of a change request ticket from users.
