Cloud Blueprint
Make the journey to cloud more than just a copy and paste, and instead take the opportunity for a transformation.
Why create a blueprint?
A blueprint helps you explain where you've come from and where you are going into the future with Atlassian Cloud. Most importantly, it helps you find your narrative on why and how to make the move. Done early in your Cloud migration planning, this can help you confidently decide exactly what will migrate, from where to where, who and when.
It is especially useful if you feel that your current setup is not optimised and need to investigate the value unlocked by transformation.
Who to invite to run the workshop?
It's import to run this with a well rounded crew of stakeholders, such as system administrators, project leads, end users and business strategy and operations experts who can contribute to designing your future state in cloud. You want to assemble a team that will embrace the pros and cons of different cloud architectures, so that you arrive at the right design.
At the end of this workshop you’ll produce what is known in the industry as a tenant map, which visualises your migration paths.
How to use the blueprint?
Key steps:
Determine your dream state in Cloud - How will you organise your teams in Cloud that best supports your future way of working?
Audit what you have on Server - How are your teams organised today on Server?
Bring your present and future state ideas onto the one map
Don’t forget apps and integrations attached to your core data and how they will move
Map where you data will more from and to, and at what rate of change (all at once, by cohort or by start fresh).
Convert your tenant map into a Project timeline
Detailed instructions are provided on the Mire board itself when you use this template. Also, check out the demo video below!
Presto - you’ve got a strategic plan for your move to Cloud!
Designing the right tenant map may take multiple rounds and is best done iteratively, in consultation with the wider business. Plan for a series of 1-2hr workshops.

Value Network Mapping (1.0)
The Value Network Mapping (1.0) template is a visual tool for analyzing and optimizing the relationships and interactions between stakeholders within a network. It provides a structured framework for mapping out value exchanges, dependencies, and opportunities for collaboration.

By promoting transparency and collaboration, Value Network Mapping empowers organizations to enhance value creation and foster strategic partnerships.
Stage-Gate Process Flowchart Template
Works best for:
Diagramming, Project Management
The Stage-Gate Process Flowchart Template structures a project into distinct stages separated by decision-making gates, enhancing the quality of decisions and leading to more successful project outcomes.
Opportunity Solution Tree Template
Works best for:
Flowcharts, Product Management, Diagrams
Solving problems — successful companies and productive teams just know how to do it. They’re able to identify many possible solutions, then settle on the one that leads to the desired outcome. That’s the power an Opportunity Solution Tree gives you. Designed by Teresa Torres, a product discovery coach, this mind map breaks down your desired outcome into opportunities for the product to meet user needs, then gives your team an effective way to brainstorm potential solutions.
Use Case Diagram Template
Works best for:
Marketing, Market Research, Diagrams
A use case diagram is a visual tool that helps you analyze the relationships between personas and use cases. Use case diagrams typically depict the expected behavior of the system: what will happen and when. A use case diagram is helpful because it allows you to design a system from the perspective of the end user. It’s a valuable tool for communicating your desired system behavior in the language of the user, by specifying all externally visible system behavior.
Vertical Organizational Chart
Works best for:
Organizational Charts, Organizational Design
The Vertical Organizational Chart Template is an efficient way to illustrate the hierarchy of an entity in a top-down format. This tool helps represent roles and relationships in a clear manner, starting from the topmost authority and branching downwards. It allows for a better understanding of the flow of responsibilities and communication channels within the organization. One of its most significant advantages is promoting clear communication. Depicting the organization's structure helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures everyone is on the same page regarding the chain of command.
