Overview
Moving from Streamtime to Jira is a structural migration for creative and project-based teams leaving Streamtime's integrated job-billing model for Jira's workflow-driven issue tracking. Streamtime organizes work around Jobs that hold To-Dos, Schedules, and Time Entries with integrated Rate Cards, Quotes, and Invoices. Jira uses Projects containing Issues (Epics, Stories, Tasks, Bugs) with configurable workflows, Sprints, and custom fields but has no native time-tracking billing, Rate Card, Quote, or Invoice objects. We migrate Jobs to Jira Projects or Epics, To-Dos to typed Issues with parent-child hierarchy preserved, Companies to Jira Organizations or custom fields, Team Members to Jira Users, and Time Entries as Issue-linked Comments or custom duration fields. Commercial documents (Quotes, Invoices, POs) and Rate Cards do not have Jira equivalents and are flagged in a written inventory for the customer's admin to handle outside the migration. We do not migrate Streamtime Schedules as active Jira sprint assignments; we deliver them as a resource-allocation reference document.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Streamtime 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.
Streamtime
Job
Jira
Project or Epic
1:1Streamtime Jobs map to Jira Projects as the primary container. For Jobs with a hierarchical sub-structure (nested To-Dos or sub-Jobs), we map the parent Job to a Jira Epic within the destination Project, with child Jobs mapped to Stories or sub-Epics depending on the depth. Job name, description, start date, and due date migrate to Project or Epic fields. Job status (Active, Completed, On Hold) maps to Jira Project category or Epic status. Template Jobs migrate as standard Projects or Epics; the template flag is recorded in a custom field for the admin to configure as a Jira template post-migration.
Streamtime
To-Do
Jira
Issue (Story, Task, or Bug)
1:1Streamtime To-Dos map to Jira Issues with the type determined during scoping: tasks map to Jira Task, design or creative items map to Story, and flagged or overdue items map to Bug or Task depending on the customer's naming convention. We preserve parent-child hierarchy by setting the Jira Issue's Parent field to the Epic (from the Job mapping). To-Do completion status maps to Jira Issue Status (To Do, In Progress, Done), and To-Do assignees map to Jira Assignee via email-based User resolution.
Streamtime
Company
Jira
Organization or custom field
1:1Streamtime Companies map to Jira Organizations if the destination Jira site has the Organizations feature enabled (Jira Premium or Enterprise). Otherwise, we map Companies to a custom field (Client__c) of type text or select on the Project or Epic level. Company address, contact name, and client-specific rate card reference migrate as fields on the Organization record or as Project-level custom fields. Jira Organizations do not support the same financial associations as Streamtime Companies, so client billing relationships are documented for the admin to configure in the external billing tool.
Streamtime
Team Member
Jira
User
1:1Streamtime Team Members map to Jira Users by email address. We resolve each Team Member's Jira account during the migration window. If a Team Member has no Jira account, they enter a reconciliation queue for the customer's Jira admin to provision before the Team Member's assigned Issues are imported. Team Member roles (e.g., Designer, Developer) do not have a native Jira equivalent; we store role metadata in a custom field (Team_Role__c) on the User record or map it to Jira Project Roles if configured.
Streamtime
Time Entry
Jira
Comment or custom field (Duration__c)
1:1Streamtime Time Entries map to Jira as structured data rather than native Jira records because Jira Software does not include a native time-tracking object in its standard configuration. We create a custom field Duration_hours__c (number) on the target Issue type and write Time Entry hours, date, and notes as values linked to the correct Jira Issue. The full time entry log (who logged, how long, what notes) is also written as a Jira Comment on the Issue for human readability. Budget burn data from Streamtime migrates as a Project-level custom field (Budget_Burn__c) for reporting. Jira Premium's native time-tracking app or a third-party app (Tempo Timesheets) can be configured post-migration to replace this flat-field approach.
Streamtime
Schedule
Jira
Project Role or Sprint Assignment (reference document)
lossyStreamtime Schedules represent team member allocations to Jobs for a given period. Jira does not have a native scheduling or resource-allocation object. We export Schedule data as a structured CSV reference document keyed to Job and Team Member, listing allocation hours and date ranges. The customer's Jira admin uses this as a guide to configure Project Roles, component assignments, or sprint-based workload planning post-migration. We do not create Jira Sprint records from Streamtime Schedules because the sprint cadence and issue-to-sprint mapping do not exist in Streamtime data.
Streamtime
Rate Card
Jira
Custom fields or external billing reference
lossyStreamtime Rate Cards define pricing by role, client, or item with multi-currency support. Jira has no Rate Card equivalent. We export Rate Card definitions as a structured reference document listing each role, rate, currency, and Company association. The customer's admin maps these to a custom field set on the Project or Epic level (e.g., Hourly_Rate_Designer__c, Hourly_Rate_Developer__c) or to an external billing tool integrated with Jira. Multi-currency Rate Card rates migrate as decimal values with currency metadata, not as Jira currency fields.
Streamtime
Quote
Jira
Not migrated (flagged for external rebuild)
1:1Streamtime Quotes are commercial documents with line items, pricing, and status tied to Jobs. Jira has no native Quote object. We do not migrate Quotes as Jira records because no equivalent schema exists. We export Quotes as structured records in the migration deliverable package and flag them for the customer's admin to rebuild in a dedicated quoting or invoicing tool (e.g., Scoro, HoneyBooks, or a custom ERP). Quote-to-Job associations are preserved in the export for reference.
Streamtime
Invoice
Jira
Not migrated (flagged for external rebuild)
1:1Streamtime Invoices are commercial documents tied to Jobs and Time Entries with line items, amounts, currency, and payment status. Jira has no Invoice equivalent. We do not migrate Invoices as Jira records. We export Invoice data as structured records in the migration deliverable package and flag them for the customer's admin to rebuild in an external accounting or invoicing tool. Historical invoice-to-Job associations are preserved in the export for audit purposes.
Streamtime
Purchase Order
Jira
Not migrated (flagged for external rebuild)
1:1Streamtime Purchase Orders represent outbound vendor commitments tied to Jobs. Jira has no native PO object. We do not migrate POs as Jira records. We export PO data as structured records in the migration deliverable package and flag them for the customer's admin to handle in a procurement or accounting tool. PO-to-Job associations are preserved in the export for audit.

Migration approach
Discovery and Streamtime API access setup
We audit the source Streamtime account for Jobs (active, completed, and archived), To-Dos (with completion status and parent Job), Companies, Team Members, Time Entries (volume and date range), Rate Card definitions, Quotes, Invoices, and Purchase Orders. We verify the migration account has both job view/edit permissions and financial export permissions. We confirm the account subscriber credentials for API access and request any necessary rate-limit increases from Streamtime support. We pair this with a Jira destination audit: existing Projects, permission schemes, issue types, custom fields, and Jira Cloud versus Data Center tenancy.
Schema mapping and Jira project configuration
We design the Jira destination schema based on the Streamtime audit. Each Streamtime Job becomes a Jira Project or Epic depending on the hierarchy depth. We pre-create custom fields on the destination Project (Client__c, Duration_hours__c, Budget_Burn__c, Role__c) and configure the issue type scheme to match the To-Do types being migrated (Story, Task, Bug). We align Jira workflow statuses with Streamtime Job and To-Do statuses during scoping. If Jira Organizations are available, we pre-provision Organization records for each Streamtime Company. Template Jobs are flagged for post-migration Jira template configuration.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the destination Jira environment using representative data volume. The customer's project manager or admin spot-checks a random sample of migrated Issues against the Streamtime source (Job name, To-Do hierarchy, assignee, due date, time entry totals). Record counts are reconciled across all object types. Commercial document export completeness is verified against the financial export permissions. Any field mapping corrections, missing custom field creations, or permission scheme adjustments happen in this phase before production migration begins.
User provisioning and team member resolution
We extract every distinct Streamtime Team Member referenced on Jobs, To-Dos, and Time Entries and match by email against the destination Jira site's User directory. Team Members without a matching Jira account enter a reconciliation queue for the customer's Jira admin to provision before record import resumes. Project Roles and component assignments are noted from the Streamtime Schedule export and mapped to Jira Project Roles or component ownership during this step.
Production migration in record-dependency order
We run production migration in dependency order: Jira Organizations (from Companies), Projects and Epics (from Jobs), Issues (from To-Dos with parent Epic set), custom field values (Duration_hours__c, Budget_Burn__c, Role__c), Comments (from Time Entry notes), and finally the Schedule reference document and Rate Card export. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Jira permission schemes are applied after all Issues are ingested to avoid mid-migration visibility interruptions.
Cutover, validation, and commercial document handoff
We freeze writes to the Streamtime account during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Jira as the system of record. We deliver the Rate Card reference document, Schedule allocation CSV, and Quote/Invoice/PO export package to the customer's admin with guidance on rebuilding those areas in an external billing tool. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any record-reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Rate Cards, Quotes, or Invoices as Jira records; that work is handled by the customer's admin or a billing tool implementation partner.
