How to migrate to a Next-gen project in Jira Service Management (+Video)

Atlassian introduced next-gen projects (team-managed projects) for Jira and Jira Service Management. They mean to simplify the project configuration experience for administrators and end-users.

However, the current functionality of the next-gen projects does not allow importing JSON or CSV files. So, you won't be able to see any next-gen projects while setting up a Demo Migration with us, as they won't be displayed in Migration Wizard.

Therefore, if you do not see a project you would like to migrate in Migration Wizard, there is a high chance that it is a next-gen one. You can check the type of the project in the left sidebar:

There’s a workaround if you still want to migrate data to the next-gen project. First, you need to create a classic project in your Jira Service Management. Then, import your data to the classic project. And lastly, migrate data between classic and next-gen project.
