Jira Data Center is being sunset.
Spryn is the self-hosted path forward.

The same import path applies either way: connect your Jira workspace via OAuth, or export a CSV if OAuth access isn't available in your setup. This page focuses on Data Center and Server because those are the editions Atlassian is discontinuing — but you don't need to wait until you're forced off Jira to start; the import runs once, whenever you're ready.

Your issues, epics, story points, assignees, and labels come across directly through the OAuth import — no CSV wrangling unless you choose the CSV path instead. You preview everything before confirming, so nothing lands in Spryn that you didn't approve.

No. The import is read-only and non-destructive — Spryn only reads what you select to bring across. Your Jira instance, and everything in it, stays exactly as it is.

Installing Spryn on your own server takes about 10 minutes. The backlog import — connecting Jira and bringing your issues across — takes under 5 minutes on top of that. Most teams are planning their first sprint in Spryn the same day.

Yes. Start free, no credit card required, and the import doesn't touch your Jira data, so there's nothing to undo if you decide to stay. If Spryn isn't the right fit after your first sprint, your data exports cleanly and you can go back to what you had.

Atlassian stops selling new Data Center subscriptions on March 30, 2026, and Data Center reaches full end-of-life on March 28, 2029. Existing licenses keep working until then, but you won't be able to buy or renew a Data Center subscription after the March 2026 cutoff — which is why teams on Jira Server (already unsupported since February 2024) or Data Center are evaluating a replacement now rather than waiting for the deadline.
