Switching from Monday.com to JiraVerified Sep 24, 2026

Quick verdict: Move to Jira when the team using the tool is an engineering team that needs backlogs, sprints and configurable workflows, or when seat bundles make Monday.com expensive for your headcount.

Most buyers only budget for the new subscription. This estimates the hidden labor, data-cleanup, and retraining cost of actually making the switch.

Estimate assumes: 1 hour of data-mapping/cleaning labor per 2,000 records, a blended $75/hr ops rate, tiered migration & cleaning tooling fees, and 4 hours of retraining per seat at a $45/hr fully-loaded rate.

    Why teams move from Monday.com to Jira

    Built for software teams

    Backlogs, sprints and custom workflows.

    Per-user billing

    No seat bundles; Standard is $9.05/user/mo on monthly billing.

    Free for 10 users

    Small teams can run on the Free plan.

    How the migration actually works

    Monday.com exports boards to Excel, and an admin can export the whole account as a ZIP once every 24 hours. Jira Cloud imports CSV files; split large boards so each file stays near 1,500 work items.

    StepWhat you do
    1Export each boardExport boards to Excel from monday.com; an account admin can also export all account data as a ZIP.
    2Save as CSVClean column headers and save each board as a CSV file of about 1,500 rows or fewer.
    3Set up Jira projectsCreate projects, issue types and workflows before importing so statuses have somewhere to land.
    4Run the CSV importerA Jira admin maps CSV columns to Jira fields and imports each file.
    5Rebuild automations and boardsRecreate automations (400 steps per user per month on Standard) and board or backlog views.
    6Keep a sync during cutoverMonday.com’s Jira Cloud integration can sync both ways while teams switch.

    What this path doesn’t do for you:

    Monday.com automations, dashboards, docs and board views do not move. The account export excludes dashboards, archived boards and workdocs.

    Editorial assessment

    Before you cut over

    • Set up single sign-on in Jira on Any plan with Atlassian Guard Standard (add-on); included in Enterprise before you invite the team, so accounts are created through your identity provider rather than by hand.
    • People who rely on Monday.com offline will lose that: Jira doesn’t document an offline mode. Tell field and travelling staff before the switch.

    Checked September 19, 2026 against each vendor’s own trust center, help docs and app pages. Hover or tap “source” to see the exact wording we relied on. “Not published” means we could not find the vendor saying it on its own site; it doesn’t mean the feature is missing.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can Jira import from monday.com directly?

    Not with a dedicated importer; use CSV. Export boards to Excel, save as CSV and run Jira’s CSV importer.

    How big can each import file be?

    Atlassian recommends about 1,500 work items per CSV file; split larger boards.

    What does not come across?

    Automations, dashboards and docs. The account-wide export also skips dashboards, archived boards and workdocs.
