What would be the best way to migrate work items from TFS 2010 to JIRA?

Question

I am in the process of evaluating JIRA as a replacement to TFS 2010. I know that JIRA has the capability to import from CSV but cannot figure out how to export fields like the History fields from TFS to a spreadsheet.

Any recommendations / tools would be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

I don't think there is an easy way to do what you want.

I am thinking you would need to make your own tool using the TFS API. I don't know if JIRA has an API to do the inserting, but TFS's api is fairly good. You could easily get that data out.

For "How To" on the TFS API I usually look to Shai Raitan's TFS API blog posts.
