Introduction to Migrating from Linear to JIRA

Why would you want to migrate from Linear to JIRA?

At our company we started to realise that we needed more of Jira's heavy duty features that Linear doesn't provide. Mainly things like burn-down charts and estimation tools. We also wanted to take better advantage of Jira's first party integrations into the Jira Product Discovery and Jira Service Management.

How to go about it?

Migrating from Linear to JIRA is a fairly complex journey with multiple phases. A colleague and I ended up writing a number of scripts and tools to help us manage the process. I have chosen to make these tools open source so that others who go through this process might be able to navigate it more easily. The tools are available both on Github and on my personal Gitea instance.
