Case Study: Oscar Health streamlines complex workflows and speeds migration with Linear

Oscar Health migrates 600+ people to Linear in just over a month

Oscar Health, a technology-driven health insurer, faced significant challenges with its overly complex and customized Jira instance, which was among the most complex in the world according to Atlassian. The system had maxed out Jira's custom field limit, forcing teams to repurpose fields and creating confusing, inefficient workflows that hindered the company's ability to move quickly.

Linear provided a solution with a straightforward migration that took just over a month for over 600 users. Using Linear's import tooling, Oscar migrated essential project data while intentionally leaving behind unnecessary custom fields and workflows. The results were immediate: work became more visible and manageable with features like Linear Asks, leadership gained clearer insights with Custom Views, and adoption was rapid and organic. The team at Oscar reported being happier and more efficient with Linear.
