Dear Jira Users,

This is a reminder that Atlassian has announced that support for Jira Server will end on February 15, 2024. As a result, Enterprise Applications & Solutions Integration (EASI) will be moving its teams to the Azure DevOps platform as part of the Jira Migration Project.

Azure DevOps provides managers and users with more visibility into work effort, resulting in improved workload management, expectation management and improved insights for strategic decision making. This platform also aligns with U of T’s technical roadmap and future evolution with Microsoft.

In preparation for the February 2024 deadline, it will be necessary to offboard your division from Jira Server by December 13, 2023.  

Divisions with 10 users or under can migrate to Jira Cloud for free or transition to Azure DevOps with EASI system administration and chargeback. Azure DevOps licenses will cost approximately CAD $8/month per user and stakeholder licenses are free. Learn more about pricing options.

If you have any questions about this project, please contact Laurel Williams, Project Lead, at laurel.williams@utoronto.ca

Thank you for your support in making this successful transition.

Sincerely,
Enterprise Applications & Solutions Integration (EASI)
