JIRA upgrade on the way

JIRA is used to track software bugs, and is also a tool for project management work flows and collaboration. As such, it is one of the key products used within the Applications Division, and allows other departments involved in projects to monitor and log issues as well.

This project will oversee an upgrade to the latest stable and supported version of Jira 7.

The upgraded version will go onto the newly created server infrastructure, which runs off the latest Oracle 12C database. The development server has just been built, and the development team will now start work to configure the new software to University requirements. This will involve reviewing the product's functionality, as well as assessing and documenting how changes from the previous product will apply to the Applications Division.

The upgrade is expected to go live in September.
