A clean Jira instance isn’t just nice to have—it’s a strategic advantage. Research shows that admins who regularly perform cleanup and maintenance tasks drive significantly more user adoption and growth than those who only focus on initial setup. In this session, we’ll dive into:

• Why Instance Hygiene Matters — The business impact of a clean Jira instance and how it supports scalability, performance, and user satisfaction

• Understanding Admin Actions: Create, Update, Delete — Data-driven insights on why delete and update actions are more strongly correlated with healthy, expanding instances

• Live Demo: Cleaning Up Your Jira Instance — A hands-on walkthrough of identifying and removing unused schemes, custom fields, workflows, and projects, plus tools and features for efficient cleanup followed up by tools on how to maintain your Jira sites.
