Overview
Moving from raidlog.com to Jira is a schema transformation, not a straight record copy. Raidlog.com uses five discrete log types (Risks, Actions, Issues, Decisions, Dependencies) as first-class objects, each with its own fields and owner assignments. Jira has no native RAID framework; it uses configurable issue types within projects. We map each raidlog.com log type to a Jira issue type (Story, Task, or Bug depending on the log semantics), preserve owner assignments via Jira user email matching, and reconstruct inter-log linkages as Jira issue links (Blocks, Blocks, Related). Jira's binary attachment API means we can migrate file references that raidlog.com tracks as URLs. Lessons Learned and Change Log entries migrate as Jira issues with a custom RAID Log Type field to preserve the origin context. Jira workflows, automations, and Jira Software-specific features like Sprints and Backlogs are not migrated; we deliver a written inventory of any configured RAIDLOG automations for the customer's admin to rebuild in Jira as needed.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a raidlog.com object lands in Jira, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
raidlog.com
Project
Jira
Project
1:1Each raidlog.com Project becomes a Jira Project. We extract project metadata including name, description, start and due dates, and owner assignment via the Projects API and create Jira Projects using the Jira REST API. If the source has multiple Enterprise Private Workspaces, each workspace becomes a separate Jira project or a Jira project-group depending on the customer's preference for workspace isolation in Jira.
raidlog.com
Risk
Jira
Issue (custom type: Risk)
1:1Raidlog.com Risks map to Jira issues with a custom Issue Type named Risk. We map probability to a Jira custom number field, impact to a Jira custom picklist (Low/Medium/High/Critical), and status (Open, Mitigated, Closed) to a Jira status in the project's workflow. Owner migrates as Jira Assignee via email matching. We add a custom text field raidlog_type__c set to 'Risk' so the origin context is preserved in Jira.
raidlog.com
Action Item
Jira
Issue (type: Task)
1:1Raidlog.com Actions map to Jira Task issues. Assignee, due date, priority (from raidlog.com priority field), and status map to Jira Assignee, Due Date, Priority, and Status. The action-to-risk linkage migrates as a Jira Issue Link (blocks/blocked by) after both issues exist in Jira.
raidlog.com
Issue
Jira
Issue (type: Bug or Task)
1:1Raidlog.com Issues map to Jira Bug or Task issues depending on the customer's naming convention preference during scoping. Severity (Low, Medium, High, Critical) maps to a Jira custom picklist; status maps to Jira status. Resolution date maps to Jira Resolution Date field. Owner maps to Jira Assignee.
raidlog.com
Decision
Jira
Issue (custom type: Decision)
1:1Raidlog.com Decisions map to Jira issues with a custom Issue Type named Decision. We map owner to Jira Assignee, date made to a custom date field decision_date__c, status to Jira status, and rationale to the Jira issue description. The linked project context migrates as the Jira project parent reference.
raidlog.com
Dependency
Jira
Issue Link
lossyRaidlog.com Dependencies (inter-log relationships where, for example, Risk A blocks Action B) do not have a native Jira equivalent as discrete records. We reconstruct each dependency as a Jira Issue Link of type 'Blocks' or 'Blocked by' after both the source and target issues exist in Jira. The complete dependency graph is extracted from the All RAID endpoint during scoping and resolved during the link-creation phase. Customers receive a written dependency matrix listing every reconstructed link.
raidlog.com
Lessons Learned
Jira
Issue (custom type: Lesson)
1:1Lessons Learned records in raidlog.com have no direct Jira issue type. We create Jira issues with a custom Issue Type named Lesson and add a custom field lesson_type__c to distinguish Lessons Learned from other records. The lesson content migrates to the Jira issue description. Lessons Learned attached to a specific project in raidlog.com link to the equivalent Jira project.
raidlog.com
Change Log
Jira
Issue (custom type: Change Request)
1:1Change Log entries (requester, date, status, description) migrate as Jira issues with a custom Issue Type named Change Request. Requester becomes Jira Reporter, date becomes Created, status maps to Jira status, and description maps to issue description. We add a custom field change_status__c to carry the original raidlog.com change request status through the migration.
raidlog.com
Tag
Jira
Label or Component
lossyRaidlog.com tags apply to any RAID record. We extract the full tag taxonomy and apply it as Jira Labels (if the customer uses labels for cross-project classification) or Jira Components (if the customer prefers per-project categorization). The choice is made during scoping. Tag value mapping preserves the full original tag name; Jira label syntax conventions are applied during import.
raidlog.com
User and Owner
Jira
User
1:1Raidlog.com Users referenced as Owners across all log types are extracted and matched to Jira Users by email address. Owner assignments on Risks, Actions, Issues, and Decisions migrate as Jira Assignee. Any raidlog.com Owner without a matching Jira User email goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's Jira admin to provision before record import resumes.
raidlog.com
Stakeholder List
Jira
Project Role or Component
1:1The Stakeholder List is a supplementary component of the RAID log. We export it as a distinct record set and create Jira Project Components or add the stakeholders as Jira Users with explicit project-level role assignments (e.g., Observer, Stakeholder). The customer's Jira admin selects the preferred approach during scoping.

Migration approach
Discovery and log inventory
We run a full audit of the raidlog.com account via the Projects, Risks, Actions, Issues, Decisions, Tags, and Users API endpoints. We paginate through each collection using limit/offset parameters to capture the complete dataset. We identify Enterprise Private Workspace scope, count total records per log type, identify Lessons Learned and Change Log entries reconstructed from the All RAID endpoint, and extract the full dependency graph for inter-log linkage. We also inventory any tag taxonomy and user roster. The output is a written migration scope document listing record counts per log type, any API extraction gaps, and a Jira project hierarchy recommendation.
Jira destination schema design
We design the Jira destination schema before any data moves. This includes creating custom Issue Types (Risk, Decision, Lesson, Change Request) per Jira project, adding custom fields to carry RAID-specific data (raidlog_type__c, probability__c, impact__c, decision_date__c, change_status__c), and configuring project-level permissions matching the raidlog.com workspace or Private Workspace isolation model. We deploy schema changes to a Jira Sandbox first. If the customer does not have a Sandbox, we recommend creating one before production migration.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the customer's Jira Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts per log type, spot-checks 25-50 records against the raidlog.com source for field-level accuracy (particularly probability and impact values on Risks, rationale on Decisions, and Change Log status values), and validates that Jira issue links for Dependencies resolve correctly. We address any mapping corrections before production migration begins. No production data moves until sandbox sign-off.
User and Owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct Owner referenced across Risks, Actions, Issues, Decisions, and the reconstructed Lessons Learned and Change Log records. Each owner is matched by email against the Jira destination's User table. Any raidlog.com Owner without a matching Jira User goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Jira admin provisions any missing Users (active or inactive depending on whether the original raidlog.com user is still active) before the production migration phase. OwnerId references on Jira issues are required; migration cannot proceed past this step with unresolved owners.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Jira Projects first (from raidlog.com Projects), then Risks and Decisions (as Jira issues with custom types), then Issues and Action Items (as Jira Task or Bug issues), then Lessons Learned and Change Log records (as Jira custom-type issues), then Jira Issue Links for all reconstructed Dependencies (processed after all linked issues exist). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We use Jira's REST API with rate-limit handling and exponential backoff throughout. Binary attachment migration from raidlog.com URL references is attempted where URLs are reachable; unreferenced or broken URLs are flagged in the migration report for manual re-link by the customer's team.
Cutover, validation, and automation inventory delivery
We freeze raidlog.com writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window. We enable Jira as the system of record. We deliver the Dependency Matrix listing every reconstructed Jira Issue Link, the Automation Inventory document noting any raidlog.com automated triggers that require Jira rebuild, and the User Reconciliation Log showing any Owner without a Jira match that requires manual assignment. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Jira workflows, Jira Automation rules, or Jira Software Sprints as part of the migration scope; these are documented separately for the customer's admin.
