Upgrading Jira from 7.5.3 to 10, any concerns?

[Matthew Davis]

Before our company makes a huge leap to the most current version of Jira from our current version (7.5.3) are there any prominent issues/concerns that we should consider before we upgrade?

I'd say go through the release note :)

New version will obviously be better with fixes and improvements - you would be aware of whats new and what has been fixed by reading the release note.

• Upgrade your test instance first - best practice.
• Ensure you customizations are moved too or re-applied - if you've been involved in previous upgrades or know your customized files , shouldn't be an issue :-)

okay, thanks!

@Matthew Davis   Hey 7.10 is out :-)

My apologies, 7.10 still hasn't been released.  We will be upgrading the latest version, which is 7.9.2

10 ? 

The latest we have I guess is 7.9.2 . I am talking about JIRA Software Server
