Jira to Linear Migration in Derry
Moving Derry 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 Derry — 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 County Londonderry?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Northern Ireland, including Derry and the surrounding County Londonderry area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derry businesses do you usually work with?
- Cross-border trading systems for businesses working into Donegal, and manufacturing tooling for the north west. Beyond that we work across Manufacturing, Healthcare, Higher Education, Digital and Tourism.
- Do you cover the areas around Derry?
- Yes — we work throughout Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Lisburn. Derry is an urban area of roughly 85,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Londonderry region rather than the city boundary alone.
