Jira to Linear Migration · Cambridge
Jira to Linear Migration in Cambridge
Moving Cambridge teams from Jira to Linear, where the point is to leave the configuration behind. Custom workflows, screens, permission schemes and twenty required fields are exactly what Linear declines to offer — so a migration that tries to recreate them is working against the reason for moving in the first place.
Why this comes up
The problem
The team is moving to escape Jira's configuration and is already asking how to reproduce it in Linear.
What you get
What we deliver
- Agreement on which parts of the existing process are genuinely being abandoned
- Issues migrated with their history, comments and attachments
- Statuses mapped to Linear's simpler workflow rather than replicated
- Custom fields reduced to the few that carry real information
- Links and references preserved, including from code and pull requests
- Old Jira retained read-only for a period rather than switched off immediately

Jira to Linear Migration in Cambridge — common questions
- Can we recreate our Jira workflow?
- Largely not, and that is deliberate. Linear offers a constrained model on purpose, so teams attempting to reproduce a heavily configured Jira project end up frustrated with a tool that was chosen precisely because it does not work that way.
- What should happen to custom fields?
- Most should be dropped. Long-lived Jira projects accumulate fields that are required, always empty and never read, and the migration is the only realistic opportunity to reduce them to the handful anybody actually uses.
- Do issue references break?
- They can, and it matters more than expected. Jira keys appear in commit messages, pull requests, documents and years of Slack history, so retaining the old instance read-only means those references still resolve to something rather than to nothing.
- Should we migrate every issue?
- Rarely worth it. Closed issues from several years ago are read almost never, and bringing the entire backlog carries forward tickets nobody intends to do — migrating active work and keeping the archive accessible elsewhere is usually the better trade.
- Do you work with businesses across Cambridgeshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including Cambridge and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cambridge businesses do you usually work with?
- Deep-tech and biotech clients bring genuinely technical briefs, often involving data pipelines, instrumentation or research tooling. Beyond that we work across Technology, Life Sciences, Research, Higher Education and Biotech.
- Do you cover the areas around Cambridge?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including Norwich, Milton Keynes, London, Northampton. Cambridge is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cambridgeshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
