Summary


In this chapter, we covered some of the best practices JIRA administrators should follow to maintain their instances. We discussed the customization process they should employ in their company to ensure that their JIRA instance doesn't get messed up with tons of configurations. We also covered some important aspects of housekeeping and regular maintenance activities good JIRA administrators follow.

What should you do when JIRA is running slow or not working at all? As JIRA administrators, it's important to make sure that the JIRA service is not impacted. JIRA is a critical tool as it's a part of the development process. Developers rely on it to check their day-to-day tasks. In the next and final chapter, we will cover some common problems that may arise in your instance and, most importantly, how to troubleshoot these issues.
