Are you preparing to migrate your Jira instance and apps from Server/Data Center to Cloud? Before you proceed, please visit our Cloud Migration Guide.
If you’re choosing between Jira Server/Data Center and Cloud, we’ve created a comparison matrix to show you the differences between our Zephyr Scale apps by hosting. As in the case with most apps in the Atlassian marketplace, our Cloud app provides a different set of features to our Server/Data Center apps.
