This tool lets you migrate work item from Jira to Azure DevOps or Microsoft Team Foundation Server. The tool has two parts, first Jira issues are exported to files then we import the files to Azure DevOps/TFS. We believe this is a good approach to migration since it allows you to export the data to migrate and validate it before importing it. It also makes it easy to migrate in batches.
Some of the capabilities include:
- Export Jira issues from Jira queries
- Map users from Jira to users in Azure DevOps/TFS
- Migrate work item field data
- Migrate links and attachments
- Migrate history
- Download the latest release from GitHub and extract the files to your local workspace.
The tools are provided as-is and will require detailed understanding of how to migrate work items between different systems in order to do a successful migration.
- See the migration process overview for information on how to get started.
- Read the article Jira to VSTS migration: migrating work items for more context of the process.
- Read the article Jira to Azure DevOps (VSTS or TFS) migration for a complete step-by-step walkthrough on a migration.
