Jira Consulting
Jira consulting services that fit Jira to how your team ships
Our Jira consulting services start with a Jira health check: a review of how your Jira is set up against how your team actually works, from workflows, issue types, fields and boards to permissions, automation rules and the reports leadership reads. It ends with a written cleanup plan, and any work after it is scoped from what the health check finds.
For an IT leader whose team works around its Jira
Your team ships software, and Jira has grown with it: workflows nobody follows, fields nobody fills in, boards that don’t match the work, reports leadership doesn’t trust, and Jira administration that has become someone’s second job.
You want Jira set up around how the team ships, not the other way around.

Jira health check
A review of how your team’s Jira is set up against how the team actually works: workflows, issue types, fields, boards, permissions, automation rules and the reports leadership reads.
How it runs
- Week 1 Review and cleanup plan We walk through how the team works with the people who use Jira every day, review the setup against it, and end the week with a written cleanup plan.
What you get at the end
- A written cleanup plan
- Any work after it, scoped from what the health check found
Jira set up around how your team ships
The health check decides what comes next. The work after it is one or more of these.
Jira workflows, boards and the backlog
Workflows, issue types, boards and a backlog structure that match how the team plans and ships, with the automation and the reporting set up to fit.
Jira connected to the code and the pipeline
Issues linked to the branches, pull requests, builds and deployments that carry them, so the board shows what has shipped.
Jira beside Azure DevOps
When some teams work in Jira and others in Azure DevOps, we set up how the two fit together. If the Azure DevOps side runs on Azure DevOps Server or Team Foundation Server, see the DevOps and CI/CD assessment.
Cleanup before a move to Cloud
Moving from Jira Data Center or Server to Cloud? Clean up first, so you move the workflows, fields and boards your team uses and leave the rest behind.
When it fits, and when it doesn’t
It fits when
- Your team works around Jira instead of in it.
- Leadership reads reports from Jira that the team doesn’t trust.
- You’re planning a move from Data Center or Server to Cloud and want to move only what your team uses.
- Some of your teams work in Jira and others in Azure DevOps.
It doesn’t fit when
- You need Jira licenses. We don’t sell or resell them.
- The trouble is how the team plans its work, not the tool. Start with agile coaching.
FAQ
What the health check covers, what comes after it, and where we come in on a move to Cloud.
What does a Jira health check cover?
How your team’s Jira is set up against how the team actually works: workflows, issue types, fields, boards, permissions, automation rules and the reports leadership reads. It ends with a written cleanup plan.
What happens after the health check?
You keep the cleanup plan. If you want our help with the work, we scope it from what the health check found.
Can you connect Jira to our code and our pipeline?
Yes. Linking Jira to the code and the pipeline is work a health check can lead to, and so is running Jira beside Azure DevOps.
We’re moving from Data Center or Server to Cloud. Where do you come in?
Before the move. We clean up the instance first, so you move the workflows, fields and boards your team uses and leave the rest behind.
Do you sell Jira licenses?
No. We don’t sell, resell or discount Atlassian licenses. We work in the Jira you already have.
Do you use Jira yourselves?
Yes. We run client projects in Jira, as two of our public Clutch reviews describe.
What does it cost?
We quote the health check after the discovery call. Any work after it is scoped from what the health check finds.
