Migrating from Jellyfish to Koalr
Everything Jellyfish does — DORA dashboards, sprint health, executive reports — plus deployment risk prediction, AI chat, and AI tool adoption tracking. At up to 50% less cost. Up and running in under 30 minutes.
What You Get Instead
Every Jellyfish feature, mapped to its Koalr equivalent — and what you gain.
Deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and MTTR — identical to what you have today. Plus a deployment risk trend that scores every PR before it ships and explains the top contributing signals.
Full sprint metrics, scope change tracking, and velocity trends. Ask Koalr in plain English: "Which team had the most scope creep last quarter?" and get an instant answer backed by your live data.
Same C-suite reporting on engineering throughput and quality. Adds AI adoption tracking — see which teams are using Copilot or Cursor, at what rate, and whether it's moving your DORA numbers.
Connect GitHub and Jira with OAuth in minutes. Koalr backfills 90 days of PR history and issue linkage automatically — no data migration scripts, no manual mapping.
Migration Steps
No data export or import required. Koalr reads directly from your GitHub and Jira history. Full data parity in approximately 7 days.
Install the Koalr GitHub App. Koalr immediately begins backfilling 90 days of PR and deploy history across all your repositories.
Authorize via OAuth. Issue-to-PR linkage, sprint data, and epic hierarchy are imported automatically. No manual field mapping required.
Invite engineers and managers via email or SSO. Set DORA benchmark targets per team — Koalr will highlight where you stand against industry quartiles.
On your next PR, Koalr posts a 0–100 risk score as a GitHub Check. Open the Koalr dashboard to see which signals drove the score and where your highest-risk services are trending.

Common Migration Questions
Do I lose historical data when I switch?
No. Koalr backfills 90 days of GitHub PR history and Jira sprint data automatically on connect. Your DORA trends will be populated from day one, with full data parity typically reached within 7 days.
Can I run both in parallel during migration?
Yes. Koalr connects independently to GitHub and Jira — there's no conflict with keeping Jellyfish running while you evaluate. Many teams run them side-by-side for 1–2 sprints before fully switching.
Jellyfish required a long onboarding process. How long does Koalr take?
Most teams are fully configured in under 30 minutes. Koalr uses OAuth for all integrations and auto-detects teams from your GitHub org structure. No professional services engagement required.
How does the cost compare?
Jellyfish is typically priced at $50–80/seat/mo at enterprise scale with annual contracts. Koalr starts at $39/seat/mo with a free trial and no minimum seat commitment. For a 100-person engineering org, that can be a $15,000–$45,000/year difference.
