Your Jira server has slowed down and performance has suffered as a result. Cleaning up the Jira environment will fix this problem but there are other benefits to be gained from cleaning your polluted Jira Environment.
Other Benefits Include:
- Avoid data duplication
- Enhanced performance of the server
- Teams reaching out to dedicated groups
- Structured Data dictionary
1. Reduce the Number of Jira Administrators
For servers, maintain a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 8 Jira administrators for larger environments. For cloud, however, since the user limit is only 2000 users, anywhere between 2 to 4 administrators would suffice. Increasing the number of Jira administrators will increase the complexity of the environment.2. Limit the Number of Custom Fields
Discourage developers from creating new custom fields with the same configurations, too many custom fields can slow your instance. For this reason, use existing custom fields. It also helps to keep the fields restricted to the projects they’re needed on.3. Archive Old/Unused Jira Projects
Before deleting old or unused Jira Projects, take a backup of the instance and archive attachments as an xml file. You also have an option to archive the Project without deleting it by removing the Browse Project permission.4. Workflows
Delete any inactive or unused workflows and their schemes from the system. Before doing so, make sure that the Validators and Post-functions are not configured with custom fields.5. Screens
Delete any screens that don’t have any issue-type-screen-schemes assigned to them. Look for field-screen-schemes that don’t belong to any issue-type-screen-scheme and delete them as well. You’ll also want to delete any field-screens that don’t have a field-screen-scheme or workflow associated with them.6. Deactivate Unused Licenses
In order to preserve licenses, deactivate the user licenses which are no longer in use. Never encourage a user to have multiple licenses.7. Manage Your Add-ons
Plug-in’s can also affect the performance of your environment. To increase performance, be sure to unsubscribe a plug-in when you decide not to use it, even though the plug-in is free.
