When is the new Nav UI (2025 edition) rolling out?

[Darryl Lee]

Ok, so it's ridiculous that for such a huge change, I had to search Google to find a Reddit post that referred me to this YouTube of a webinar hosted by the Boise Atlassian Community (shout out to @Erica Larson) that FINALLY had a list of rollout dates (as of Feb 14, 2025, YMMV, T&C MAY APPLY, READ THE FINE PRINT, SUBJECT TO THE WHIMS OF ATLASSIAN PMs, ETC ETC.):

For better Google indexing, I'll type it out:

For those of you who are wondering "What's Darryl yammering about now?", this means that if you are on Free or Standard, you may soon encounter your users howling about why their Jira UI looks different. 

• "Where did my projects go?"
• "Where are boards now?"
• "What happened to all the filters?"
• "What's all this stuff on the side now?"

A pretty good overview of what it looks like NOW (but we really need some BEFORE/AFTER examples) is here:
