Your journey from Jira Data Center to Windshift
Install Windshift, test one familiar project with your team, then move on your schedule.
Start small. Prove the fit with real work before you move the wider organization.
Windshift reads from Jira without changing the source. Import a representative project and inspect the result before rollout.
One path, six steps
- Install Windshift
- Evaluate it with real Jira data
- Pilot with one team
- Prepare the organizational change
- Migrate the wider data set
- Adopt and expand with care
A familiar fit for Jira teams
The platform changes. The core planning model does not.
- Projects, work items, workflows, boards, backlogs, sprints, and releases remain recognizable
- History, attachments, fields, planning data, and Assets stay connected during import
- Your organization controls hosting, upgrades, extensions, and data location
Plan the human side
Clear ownership and expectations matter as much as the import.
- Name a sponsor and change owner for decisions, gaps, and rollout communication
- Show teams where familiar Jira concepts live and where to raise friction
- Define what a successful pilot means before expanding the move
