Windshift

Bring Your Teams’ Work Together on Infrastructure You Control with Windshift

Windshift is an open-source, self-hosted work management platform and Jira alternative. It gives teams familiar ways to plan and deliver work while keeping control of their data, deployment, and upgrades.

Whether you’re evaluating a move from Jira, bringing delivery and testing into one place, or looking for more control over your work management stack, Windshift offers a practical path to explore.

What Is Windshift and Why It Matters

Windshift brings projects, work items, custom fields, workflows, boards, backlogs, sprints, releases, and roadmaps into one system that runs on your infrastructure.

It enables organizations to:

• Plan and track work using familiar Jira-style concepts
• Connect requirements, test cases, test runs, and results
• Keep time entries and customer requests linked to the work they generate
• Link repository branches, commits, and pull requests to work items
• Choose where work data lives and when platform upgrades happen

With Jira import options and a self-hosted deployment model, teams can evaluate Windshift using a representative project before deciding how widely to adopt it.

Why Organizations Choose Windshift

Familiar Workflows Without Starting Over
Keep the project structures, fields, statuses, boards, and sprints your teams already know while exploring an alternative to Jira.

Delivery and Validation in One Place
Manage reusable test cases and test runs alongside requirements, and link results back to the work they verify.

Control Over Data and Operations
Run Windshift on your own infrastructure, choose your storage and deployment approach, and schedule upgrades on your terms.

Connected Customer and Development Work
Use customer portals to link requests to internal work items, and connect repository activity through integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, and Forgejo.

Windshift Evaluation & Implementation Planning

Start with a representative Jira Cloud or Data Center project. Import it into Windshift, inspect the projects, fields, workflows, and work history that matter to your team, and identify any gaps before a broader rollout.

A focused pilot lets your organization assess fit, plan deployment and operations, and decide whether Windshift is the right next step. Learn more at windshift.sh.
