Jira Software Server and Data Center 8.0 is built for speed and scalability. It brings substantial performance improvements and a more updated look and feel. Together with the new Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE) 6.0.0, you can make work flow better and faster than ever.

Don't break your workflows - upgrade now​ 

To ensure the upgrade to Jira 8 does not disrupt your existing workflows, we recommend that you upgrade JMWE before upgrading to Jira 8.

If you don't have active maintenance for JMWE, you can renew it here or from the "Manage add-on" page.

Jira Misc Workflow Extensions 6.0.0 supports:

• Jira Software and Jira Core 7.0.11 and above (including Jira 8)
• Jira Service Desk 3.0.11 and above (including Jira Service Desk 4)
