If you've decided to make the move from Jira to monday dev, we have excellent news for you! With our Jira Integration, it's easier than ever to migrate your data from Jira to monday.com. In this article, we'll lay out the steps for migrating your data and getting it set up so that you and your team are prepared to get to work. Read on to learn more. 🔍

 

Establish your monday dev structure

Before initiating the migration, you need to set up the structure of your workspace on monday dev. For new users, monday dev comes fully equipped with boards and folders. One of the benefits of monday dev is that it's fully customizable. So before you start, consider what works best for your team. Consider questions like:

• Will you have one scrum team folder per project?
• Will you reorganize so that all scrum teams exist in the same folder and can manage multiple projects at a time?
  How will you organize your sprints?

A few articles that might help you familiarize yourself with monday dev structure and how you might customize it for your team are:

Establish and build your data requirements

Next, you need to establish and build your team's data requirements into your monday dev structure. Consider your data requirements for all issue types. We strongly recommend that you establish uniform data requirements. We recommend doing this to the greatest extent possible for your team.

Make a template

Once you've established these requirements, you can create one scrum team folder as a workspace template. You can then use that template to build out the core boards for each team.

Check out our monday.com templates article to learn more about templates.

 

Add the Jira Integration

Once data requirements have been established, you can begin building the integration recipe on your relevant board(s).

Before setting up the integration

We recommend doing this once on the workspace template. When the template is duplicated and made specific to the project/team, the integration will need to be updated to target the correct Jira project. This will result in less work overall.

Before setting up the integration, we also recommend adding a label to a status column on your board. You can call it anything you want, but we recommend calling it something like "migration". This will come into play later.

Add the integration

To add the Jira Integration, go to the board you want to create an Integration for and click on the Integrate button, located on the upper right of your screen as below:

When the Automation center opens up, look for the Jira Server + Data Center integration banner:

Once you click on the integration banner you will find the templates the integration offers:

Select the automation that syncs changes. After clicking on the template, you will be asked to connect with your Jira Account. Use the "migration" label you set up earlier as a trigger.

Our Jira Integration article provides detailed instructions on how to set up the integration.

 

Migrate your data

Once the integration is set up, you can begin to migrate your data. Go project by project and select ~100 items to bulk edit them. Change the label to that you created before setting up the integration. We chose to call it "migration" in our example. This will trigger the integration.

To learn more about performing bulk edits, check out the Batch Actions article.
