Looking for an open-source alternative to Confluence and Jira?

Many teams rely on Atlassian for two very important parts of their work:

Confluence for knowledge.
Jira for projects.

But with Atlassian moving further toward Cloud and Data Center support coming to an end, more organizations are starting to ask what their next setup should look like.

For teams that want an open-source path, XWiki and OpenProject can work together as an alternative stack.

XWiki gives teams a flexible way to structure, organize, and preserve knowledge.
OpenProject gives teams open-source project management for planning, tracking, and coordinating work.

Together, they help teams move away from Confluence and Jira while keeping more control over their tools, data, hosting, and long-term decisions.

*On 24 June at 15:00 CET, Ștefana Nazare from XWiki and Robin Wagner from OpenProject will host a practical webinar covering:
*

  • How XWiki and OpenProject work together
  • What teams should consider before moving away from Atlassian
  • How to connect documentation and project work
  • Deployment options, including cloud, on-premises, and private cloud
  • Why migration is not only about moving data, but also about preserving context

Because replacing Atlassian successfully is not just about choosing new tools.

It is about protecting the pages, projects, decisions, history, and context your teams rely on every day.
