1. Server/Data Center to Cloud migration

Agile Poker app will appear in Jira Cloud Migration Assistant to allow a smooth transition from Server to Cloud.

Most Agile Poker data is will be migrated one-to-one, including general configuration, Interactive and Asynchronous sessions, and their configurationconfigurations. But However, there are some caveats - see below.

...

a few caveats to keep in mind:

Automatic migration availability depends on Atlassian enabling app migration in Jira in Jira Cloud Migration Assistant.

1.1. Not migrated

Relative estimation sessions will not be migrated. Finish your Please finish any ongoing Relative sessions in-progress before the migration, as their state won’t won't be transferred.

1.2. Special handling of some fields

...

For Asynchronous estimation

...

sessions, only the estimation comments from the

...

last round will be migrated. Comments from previous rounds will not be

...

transferred.

...

If there is more than one Moderator defined for an Asynchronous session in Agile Poker Server,

...

each session participant will become a Moderator (

...

the "Everyone" option will be

...

selected for that field). The same behavior

...

applies if no Moderator was set.

Agile Poker for Jira Server allowed

...

the inclusion of issues that did not have the Estimation field configured for them into estimation

...

sessions. Such issues will be migrated to Cloud as part of the corresponding Agile Poker session, but they will be hidden from the session until

...

the Estimation field is configured for them in Jira. This was done to avoid confusion when estimates for such issues could not be saved.

1.3. Special cases handling (Update)

Agile Poker sessions are linked to a specific Jira board.

...

Previously, there were limitations during migration documented by Atlassian. However, Atlassian has resolved the migration issue mentioned in this section via the resolution of the MIG-169 ticket. Boards linked to more than one project

...

can now be migrated successfully.

Estimation sessions that

...

didn't have at least

...

one participant available

...

were not

...

migrated

...

previously. However, this issue has also been addressed in the resolution of the aforementioned ticket. It's recommended to verify the latest updates on Jira Cloud migration to ensure the smooth transition of all sessions. To learn more, check out Atlassian documentation here.

1.4. Migration troubleshooting

We highly recommend enabling logging for Agile Poker. In order to do that, you need to add com.spartez.pokerng with info level at Jira Server’s logging and profiling page (more info).

We have put a limit on the maximum size of the Agile Poker data migration bundle. In case if If that limit is exceeded, you’ll see a corresponding message in the migration log. Please contact our Support team to get help then. We support team for assistance in such cases. Although we anticipate no customers will run into exceed this limit but , we have protected implemented measures to protect our systems from the unexpectedly large data sets.

2. Features available in Agile Poker Cloud only

The Cloud version introduces collaborative boards for team estimations. In case of Relative session it was only a moderator who was placing sessions, it used to be only the moderator who placed the stories while sharing a screen in the Server version. Cloud brings a significant change to the team estimations:

  • All team members can join the same session at the same time. No simultaneously, eliminating the need for a moderator to share a screen!.

  • If your team cannot reach a consensus during the estimation session, there is an unbiased voting feature to help you decide on the issue’s issue's relative complexity.

  • Check out Team Relative in action video if you want to learn more!for more information.

Another nice valuable addition is the support of Bucket Sizing Sizing estimation that , which is similar to a Relative session but with a set of pre-defined predefined labeled buckets. There are also additional other features in Interactive session available in Cloud only:

  • Issue Detail View. In : In the Cloud Relative session it is possible to , you can view and comment on Jira issues directly from the session directly, in a way manner you are used to - issue familiar with. Issue details appear in a modal window, just like on any Jira board
