Migrate from Jira to Trello

[Toni Arcas]

Dear all,

My Team is using JIRA for a long time, but we would like to try Trello, as we think it could fit better to our needs. We are an engineering company planning projects and tasks by project, and controlling the time deditacted to every task also by Jira. But maybe Jira has too many options and features compare to what we are really using. Our workflows are very easy (to do, in progress and done).

I would like to know in case we move to Trello, would it be possible to migrate the projects and/or tasks (to cards) that we have in JIRA?

I've seen the website comparing both tools, any experience or suggestions in this matter?

Many thanks for your help!

Hi Toni,

I have seen very few people (if any) go from Jira to Trello. Not even sure how you would go about that. But you should probably do a test in Trello to try to duplicate EVERYTHING you currently do in Jira to see if Trello really will work for you.

Hi John!

Thank s a lot for the information!

The true is that I've surfed a bit on the web, checking some comparisons, and it seems that Jira is much more powerful than Trello. Maybe Jira is a bit more complex for my team, but for me it is very useful as a manager to check the time tracker, reports and so on.

So I think I would prefer to dedicate a bit more effort to "squeeze" Jira rather than moving to Trello...

Thanks again!

From a user perspective, Jira can be setup to be very simple - just to do, doing, done king of thing. Is there something in particular that your team is struggling with?
