The Evolution of IT Operations: Why Atlassian is Moving Beyond Opsgenie

JSM + Compass: A Smarter Way to Manage Incidents, Alerts, and On-call Teams

-

Since acquiring Opsgenie in 2018, Atlassian has continuously evolved its IT operations capabilities, integrating alerting, on-call management, and incident response features into the Atlassian platform. Now, in a move to simplify and enhance collaboration between IT and development teams, Atlassian has announced the end of support for Opsgenie, effective April 5, 2027.

This transition aligns with Atlassian’s broader strategy: moving key Opsgenie capabilities into Jira Service Management (JSM) and Compass to create a modern, AI-powered IT operations platform.

Atlassian Rovo Overview

What’s Changing?

  • Opsgenie will no longer be available for purchase after June 4, 2025 — no new instances will be sold.
  • Opsgenie will be fully retired on April 5, 2027 — all access will be shut down, and unmigrated data will be deleted.
  • Jira Service Management will now own incident, problem, and change management with enhanced alerting capabilities.
  • Compass will provide service and robust alert management, offering context-rich alerts integrated with a comprehensive internal developer platform.

Why the Shift?

Atlassian is doubling down on AI-powered IT operations and consolidating tools to streamline workflows across DevOps, ITSM, and support teams. Instead of managing multiple platforms, teams can now centralize their incident and alerting workflows within Jira Service Management and Compass.

By embedding AI-driven alert grouping, automated alert resolution, and post-incident reviews (PIRs) into this consolidated platform, teams can resolve incidents faster, prevent outages, and increase productivity.

What Should Opsgenie Users Do Next?

Atlassian is offering two migration paths, depending on your organization’s needs:

  1. Move to Jira Service Management (JSM) — Ideal for teams needing a comprehensive ITSM solution with built-in incident response, problem, and change management.
  2. Move to Compass — Best for DevOps teams looking for advanced alerting and on-call management alongside an intuitive software component catalog.
