Having published a comprehensive playbook on how to set-up Jira, this opportunity to start from scratch is a dream contract. I am excited to build out all the spaces and templates meticulously, ensuring they align seamlessly with the team’s workflows and operational requirements. This strategy not only capitalizes on proven methodologies but also aims to bring an elevated level of efficiency and engagement to Mansueto Ventures’ Jira environment.

Our initial engagement with Mansueto Ventures was facilitated through UpWork on a fixed contract project, successfully migrating two teams to Jira for a total investment of $6,000.
