Maybe a good way to do this is to create a big jira and break it up into
module-level jira's, then assign a person to each, and for each module:
1) Upgrade pom to latest release for modules being used
2) Recompile/retrain/retest and check in
3) Close jira for that module

Then have one last issue that is to
1) upgrade project-level pom managed versions to latest release
2) revert module-level poms to use managed versions
3) run tests and checkin

How does that plan sound?
