I am a big JIRA fan, but lately they have dumbed it down to be very much like Trello. So I hope this gives me old JIRA back, built-in. Currently I have the "classic" workflow as an export that I can import. I wonder if they will try to push Trello users to Atlassian hosted JIRA Software with the simple workflow, or if they will combine the two like they did with Bitbucket and Stash.

Yes – Just like Bitbucket Issues didn't marry JIRA. One core difference between Trello and JIRA Agile is, in Trello you can't hide tickets that you don't want right now in the sprint – In JIRA Agile, you only put a few issues in the sprint so the board looks clean.

Anyway. Not sure why some people want to move away from Trello now. Is it that they don't want an identity connection between JIRA and Trello (SSO or similar)?

I think it's likely that people who use Trello appreciate the simplicity and Atlassian aren't exactly known for creating simple software (speaking as a past Jira user/admin).

I had the same feeling of "oh well, what else can I use in the future" when I read this post.

I wasn't expecting that to be as nice looks as it is. I've signed up for early access. Do you have a timeframe for when it will be available?

This is great! But it's fairly lacking in some features. Any word on release of API docs so devs can integrate their workflow into it?

We are planning to open API but it will be after the launch. What kind of features do you want to see?

I second this. Using both systems but for very different use cases. Interested in seeing how this plays out.

I'd say the user base is as or more important than the product, from Atlassians POV. If they are able to convert a few hundred thousand JIRA accounts from this, they could turn Trello off and it'd be a win.
