We'll ask you to authorize your Trello account, to allow us to import data from Trello to Jira.

Create a new Jira project for each Trello board you import.

Select Trello boards: Select which Trello boards you want to import to Jira.
Project name: Name your new project.
Project key: Enter a project key for your new project.

Import the people on your Trello boards to your Jira site.

Trello users: Each user on the Trello boards you're importing will appear here.
Email address: Enter an email address for each user you're importing from Trello. If they're an existing Jira user, you should enter the email address they currently log in with. If you enter an email address that doesn't have access to your Jira site, we'll send them an invite.

If you want to use a company-managed project or any other project template, you can move them around using Jira's bulk issue move. Read more about how to change project templates or types.
