- After maintenance is completed test need to be done by a Jira Administrator to confirm if it was succesfull:
Confluence
Jira- Check if customer portal is available and if a ticket can be raised: https://support.yamnet.com/. Close ticket when succesfully received.
- Look for a Dashboard
- Look at several boards, Scrum and Kanban if these are loading and have correct filters
- Open existing SD ticket and check if you see attachments
- Open existing SD ticket and check if you see links
- Open existing B2B ticket and try to jump to Bitbucket via create branche.
More - Create branche

- Confluence: Open a page and select Edit
Link a Jira ticket to Confluence page and check if link is appearing in Confluence and in Jira issue.

- Check messages for compatibility on applications
