Jira to Linear Migration in Milton Keynes

Moving Milton Keynes 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

Working in Milton Keynes

South East

Milton Keynes has an unusually high concentration of UK head offices for its size, so briefs here more often involve internal tooling and integration with enterprise systems than a public-facing rebuild.

Jira to Linear Migration in Milton Keynes — 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 Buckinghamshire?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Milton Keynes and the surrounding Buckinghamshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Milton Keynes businesses do you usually work with?
Internal tooling is the common request — head office teams needing systems that sit between enterprise platforms nobody wants to replace. Beyond that we work across Technology, Logistics, Financial Services, Retail and Automotive.
Do you cover the areas around Milton Keynes?
Yes — we work throughout South East, including Northampton, Oxford, Cambridge, London. Milton Keynes is an urban area of roughly 290,000+, and we take on work across the wider Buckinghamshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
