>>> Absolutely, we need to consider to what tool can support.
>>> It just seem we are too focused on "how do we customize" JIRA and this does not seem to help us to ensure we will have good process in place?
>> 
>> Totally agree. I think what we need is a solid set of requirements and an understanding of how the entire system is designed to fit together before we can really have a productive discussion as to the relative trade-offs of customization. If we really have to, we should, but we should be willing to adjust process to match the tool as well.

> I agree with the sentiments above.  One thing to remember is that we did choose to move forward with the pilot in JIRA in large part because it is designed to support customization.

> Atlassian have expressed enthusiasm and a desire to be helpful -- one thing I hope they can help with is guidance as to what kind of customization can be done with low risk of future migration issues.  Another possibility I would like to explore is whether they would be interested in using our configuration to test new versions for ease of upgrade, this could be good all around.

That would be fantastic!
