Canarys Migration Hub

Effortless Migration from Jira Server to Azure DevOps

In today's fast-paced software development landscape, transitioning between project management platforms can be a daunting task. As businesses grow and scale, they often need to shift from one platform to another to streamline operations, access better features, or improve team collaboration. When it comes to migrating from Jira Server to Azure DevOps, the process can seem overwhelming due to the volume of data, customization, and history involved.

At Canarys, we understand the complexity of such transitions, which is why we developed the Jira Server to Azure DevOps Issue Migrator Tool. This tool is designed to make the migration process effortless, fast, and accurate, ensuring that your teams can hit the ground running on their new platform without losing critical project data or wasting time on manual transfers.

Why Choose the Jira Server to Azure DevOps Issue Migrator Tool?

Whether you're an IT manager, project lead, or a development professional, migrating your team's tasks, issues, and historical data from Jira to Azure DevOps can be challenging. Manual migrations often result in incomplete data transfers, loss of attachments or comments, and an overall time-consuming process.

With Canarys’ Jira Server to Azure DevOps Issue Migrator Tool, you can:

  • Migrate system fields, custom fields, and attachments without worrying about missing data.
  • Seamlessly map user roles and work item relationships to Azure DevOps.
  • Transfer all your critical project data in a stress-free and time-efficient manner.

Key Features of the Jira Server to Azure DevOps Issue Migrator Tool

Here’s a look at how this tool helps in executing smooth and efficient migrations:

  • Comprehensive Field Mapping: System and Custom Fields: The tool ensures the migration of both system-defined and custom fields from Jira to Azure DevOps, retaining all crucial project information.
  • History-Based Migration: You can choose to migrate issues with or without history. The tool can preserve the revision history of issues, including attachments, comments, and links. This ensures that even your project's evolution is reflected in Azure DevOps.
  • JQL-Based and Batch Migration: The migrator supports batch execution, allowing you to migrate issues in smaller chunks, making the process manageable for large-scale migrations.
  • User Mapping: The tool allows user mapping either through a user mapping file or API responses, ensuring that Jira users are correctly mapped to their Azure DevOps counterparts.
  • Source Code Control and Development Links: If your projects include development links, the migrator captures these and migrates them into Azure DevOps comments.
  • Attachments and Links Migration: Attachments, links, and other relations are migrated in the final stage of the process to ensure completeness.

Field and Relation Mapping

The migrator tool offers robust field mapping options, allowing you to map Jira fields like status, priority, sprints, area paths, and custom fields to their Azure DevOps counterparts. Additionally, relations like parent-child mappings, epic links, and custom relationships are preserved during migration to keep your issue hierarchies intact.

Addressing the Limitations

  • Manual Azure DevOps Customization: Certain customizations in Azure DevOps need to be done manually, such as state transitions and cross-project work item linking.
  • Attachments and Links Order: Although attachments and links are migrated, their order might not be retained, and attachment size is capped at 60 MB.
