On-call Rota PlannerGuide

Before Opsgenie shuts down: get your on-call schedules out

Updated 2026-10-11 ยท by Hieu Tran, written with AI agents and checked against the sources below

Atlassian stopped selling Opsgenie on 4 June 2025, and on 5 April 2027 it will shut off access and delete customer data that hasn't been migrated. Atlassian's own path is Jira Service Management or Compass. Whatever you choose, your on-call rota (who's on when, the rotation rules, the swaps people agreed) is the part teams rebuild by hand, so export it while you can.

What to export

Keep a year of history

Export the past 12 months of timeline too. It's the only record of how on-call load was actually shared, which you'll want when someone asks whether the rota is fair, or when the new tool's rotation doesn't match what people were used to.

Rebuilding the rota

  1. Recreate rotations from the exported rules, not from memory.
  2. Load known leave and public holidays before the first month, so the new tool's first schedule doesn't put someone on call during their holiday.
  3. Run both tools in parallel for a week and compare who each says is on call before turning Opsgenie off.

How does your team decide who's on call today, and what went wrong with the rota last time (a holiday, a swap, an unfair month)?
