Jira Migration Assistant

Leave Jira without starting from zero.

Bring existing work, review every mapping without writes, and run a controlled cutover into one system for strategy, discovery and delivery.

CSV migration is available today Direct Jira Cloud connection follows production OAuth verification
Preview before writes Repeatable import without duplicates Manual changes are protected

Two paths to the same controlled cutover

Start with the original Jira CSV. Once OAuth is enabled, you will also be able to select projects directly from Jira Cloud.

Available

Upload Jira CSV

Export all fields, upload the file, then review mappings for statuses, types, priorities, users and sprints before confirmation.

Detailed guide
Coming soon

Connect Jira Cloud

Select projects directly, read accurate sprint data and copy physical attachments into private WorkThroughLine storage.

How migration works

1

Export or connect

Upload the original Jira CSV. Direct connection becomes available after OAuth verification.

2

Analyze

Preflight shows projects, item counts, comments, links, users and fields that need a decision.

3

Map

Choose how Jira statuses, types, priorities, users and sprints become WorkThroughLine data.

4

Confirm and verify

Import runs in the background, keeps history and can be repeated without duplicates.

What moves

Issues and epics

Titles, descriptions, statuses, priorities, estimates, story points and parent structure.

Sprints and projects

Sprint history, dates when present, project boundaries and teams.

Comments

Text, original author and date when included in the Jira export.

Issue links

Blocks, relates to and duplicates relationships.

Users

Map to existing members without silently creating accounts.

Jira Product Discovery

Ideas, opportunities, interviews, insights, solutions and experiments with discovery links.

Labels and versions

Labels, components and fix versions stay searchable.

Attachments

CSV preserves references; direct connection can copy physical files.

Safety by default

Migration that does not use fear as leverage

Import never deletes data. Stable Jira identities prevent duplicates, conflicts are reported, and the default mode skips manually changed items instead of overwriting them.

  • Admin-only execution
  • Tenant RLS isolation
  • Encrypted temporary file
  • Import history and status
  • Payload cleared on completion
  • Jira remains untouched

Jira Product Discovery context moves too

JPD content does not have to collapse into generic tickets. WorkThroughLine recognizes discovery entities and connects ideas, interviews, insights, opportunities, solutions and experiments to strategy and delivery.

Compare with Jira

What this is not

  • It is not permanent two-way Jira sync. It is built for migration and controlled cutover.
  • Automations, Marketplace apps and Jira workflow configuration cannot be mapped one-to-one.
  • Unknown users remain unassigned until an administrator maps them.
  • Large exports should be split by project, date range or JQL filter.

Frequently asked questions

Does import change or delete anything in Jira?+
No. WorkThroughLine only reads the export or approved Jira Cloud data. It does not delete or change data in Jira.
Can I preview the result first?+
Yes. Preflight and mapping do not write data. Import starts only after explicit administrator confirmation.
What happens if I run the same file again?+
Stable Jira identities prevent duplicates. Previously imported data can update, while manually changed items are skipped by default.
Are attachments migrated?+
CSV contains references, not physical files. The direct Jira Cloud connection is designed to copy physical attachments once enabled.
Do we have to shut Jira down immediately?+
No. Use a short controlled transition: import, verify, agree on a cutover date, then make WorkThroughLine the source of truth.
Is this live Jira sync?+
No. This is a migration assistant. We do not advertise permanent two-way sync that the product does not provide.
