Atlassian stopped selling new Jira Data Center subscriptions on March 30, 2026, and every remaining instance and Marketplace app goes read-only on March 28, 2029. Teams that need an on-prem sprint board now face a forced move to per-seat Jira Cloud or a switch to a tool with no seat counter. Plane, Taiga, and OpenProject store issues in PostgreSQL and Leantime uses MySQL, so you can query sprint velocity and burndown data directly. Docker Compose files let you pin versions and run upgrades on your own schedule instead of Atlassian's.
