Overview

What this migration involves

Antura to Trello is a structural simplification migration. Antura is a Swedish-born enterprise PPM platform with 20 years of portfolio, resource, risk, and cost management capability. Trello is a Kanban-based task management tool owned by Atlassian with no native portfolio, resource management, cost tracking, or risk register constructs. We extract Antura data through its CSV-based UI export, resolve Swedish-language column headers during transformation, and map Projects to Trello Boards, Sub-projects to nested Boards or Lists, and Tasks to Cards with checklist-based hierarchy where sub-subtask depth is needed. Milestones, Risks, Issues, Cost Records, and Time Entries have no native Trello equivalent; we migrate these as custom fields, card descriptions, or checklist items and flag the gap in our written inventory. We do not migrate Antura custom workflows, automations, or document binaries as part of standard scope. Trello's Standard plan ($5/user/mo) enables custom fields, which are required for most Antura migrations; the Free plan does not support them.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Antura

What's pushing teams away

  • Limited international documentation and English-language support creates friction for non-Swedish teams during onboarding and ongoing administration.
  • Smaller review presence on English-language platforms like G2 and Capterra makes independent evaluation difficult compared to globally dominant alternatives.
  • Organizations outgrowing Swedish market positioning may find fewer integration options with non-Scandinavian enterprise systems.
  • Feature depth in portfolio and resource management may exceed needs for smaller teams, prompting migration to simpler tools.
  • Lack of publicly documented API capabilities limits automation potential for organizations with sophisticated integration requirements.

Choosing

Trello

What's pulling them in

  • Free plan supports unlimited users and 10 boards, giving small teams full access to core Kanban functionality before any paid commitment is required.
  • The drag-and-drop board/card/Label interface requires no training, which reduces adoption friction and onboarding time across distributed teams.
  • Atlassian ecosystem integration with Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket provides native cross-tool workflows for teams already using Atlassian tools.
  • Butler automation on paid tiers enables rule-based triggers without third-party integrations, covering basic workflow automation needs.
  • Simple visual task management with due dates, checklists, and member assignments keeps individual contributors and small teams organized without complexity.

Object mapping

How Antura objects map to Trello

Each row shows how a Antura object lands in Trello, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Antura

Project

maps to

Trello

Board

1:1
Fully supported

Antura Projects map to Trello Boards. Each Antura project name becomes a Trello board name, project status (active, on-hold, completed) maps to board archiving or list status, start and end dates map to optional board description fields or Power-Up timeline data. We create boards in Trello via the Trello REST API, preserving project owner as a board member with Admin role. Portfolio membership does not map natively; we flag this as a Workspace organizational strategy that the customer configures post-migration.

Antura

Sub-project

maps to

Trello

Board or List

1:many
Fully supported

Antura Sub-projects nested under parent Projects map either to separate Trello Boards linked via board description or external URL, or to top-level Lists within the parent Board. We discuss the preferred strategy during scoping: separate boards preserve sub-project independence but lose visual hierarchy; lists within a board preserve the hierarchy but require list naming conventions to distinguish sub-project boundaries. Sub-project status, dates, and owner migrate in either case.

Antura

Task

maps to

Trello

Card

1:1
Fully supported

Antura Tasks map to Trello Cards with task name as card title, description as card description, assignee as card member, due date as card due date, and status as card list position or a custom status field. Antura's flat task hierarchy (no native subtask nesting) maps cleanly to Trello's flat card model. For any customer-specific subtask conventions captured as custom fields, we map to Trello checklists within the parent card, noting that checklist items cannot have independent assignees, due dates, or attachments unlike full Trello cards.

Antura

Resource

maps to

Trello

Workspace Member

1:1
Fully supported

Antura Resources represent employees with name, email, capacity, skills, and cost rates. We extract the resource list from Antura's export and provision Trello Workspace members by email invite. Resource capacity percentages and cost rates have no native Trello field; we migrate these as custom fields on a per-board administrative card or as a custom field Power-Up setup post-migration. Utilization reporting that Antura provides natively requires Trello Premium with a reporting Power-Up such as Screenful.

Antura

Milestone

maps to

Trello

Card with due date or Label

lossy
Fully supported

Antura Milestones are date-driven markers within Projects. Trello has no native milestone construct. We map milestones to dedicated Trello Cards with the milestone name as title, the milestone date as card due date, and a distinct Label (e.g., 'Milestone') to visually separate milestone markers from regular tasks. Customers on Trello Premium can use the Timeline view to visualize milestone cards as date ranges. We document this mapping strategy during scoping and note that milestone dependency tracking does not transfer.

Antura

Risk and Issue

maps to

Trello

Card with Label and custom fields

lossy
Fully supported

Antura Risks and Issues tracked as separate objects with severity, probability, owner, status, and mitigation fields map to Trello Cards with a 'Risk' or 'Issue' Label, severity and probability stored as custom dropdown or number fields, and mitigation text stored in the card description. Trello's lack of a dedicated risk register means these records lose the structured risk-specific views (risk matrix, probability-impact grid) that Antura provides. We migrate the data and flag the visualization gap in our written inventory.

Antura

Cost Record

maps to

Trello

Custom Fields on Board or administrative Card

lossy
Fully supported

Antura Cost Records include budget estimates, actuals, and forecasts per Project. Trello has no native financial fields. We map cost data to number-type custom fields on an administrative card within the project board (estimated budget, actual spend, variance) or to Trello Premium custom fields at the card level if cost tracking is needed per-task. Multi-currency handling requires the customer to standardize to a single currency before migration or to store currency metadata alongside numeric values. We flag that native cost reporting does not exist in Trello and recommend a Power-Up or external BI tool for ongoing financial visibility.

Antura

Time Entry

maps to

Trello

Card checklist item or card custom field

lossy
Fully supported

Antura Time Entries record hours by Resource on Tasks or Projects with date, duration, and description. Trello has no native time-tracking object. We map time entries either as checklist items on the relevant Card (with hours recorded as text in the checklist item) or as number custom fields on Cards if Trello Premium custom fields are available. For organizations with significant time tracking requirements, we recommend a time-tracking Power-Up (such as a Time Tracking Power-Up or a third-party integration) as a post-migration configuration step.

Antura

Custom Field (organization-specific)

maps to

Trello

Custom Field (Trello native)

lossy
Fully supported

Antura allows organization-specific custom fields across Projects, Tasks, and Resources with no public metadata API for schema discovery. We handle this by including a schema discovery phase where we export a full field inventory from the customer's Antura instance through the CSV export process, identify Swedish-language field labels, and map each to the equivalent Trello custom field type. Trello supports five custom field types: Number, Date, Dropdown, Checkbox, and Text. Custom fields on the Free plan require a Power-Up; Standard and Premium include custom fields natively. We confirm the customer's Trello plan tier during scoping.

Antura

Document

maps to

Trello

Attachment on Card (manual reattachment)

1:1
Fully supported

Antura Documents attach to Projects and Sub-projects as binary files. We extract document metadata (name, type, date, owner) from Antura's export but cannot transfer actual file binaries through standard data migration methods. We provide a file inventory document listing every Antura document with its project, file type, and storage location (path in Antura's document management area). The customer runs Antura's document bulk export to a shared network location or cloud storage, and reattaches files to the corresponding Trello Cards post-migration. We do not handle the file transfer itself.

Antura

Portfolio

maps to

Trello

Workspace or board group

lossy
Fully supported

Antura Portfolios group Projects for strategic oversight with priority, status, and strategic alignment metadata. Trello has no Portfolio construct. We map portfolio membership to Trello Workspace structure: each Antura Portfolio becomes a Trello Workspace (available on Standard and Premium plans; Free plan uses a single default Workspace), and Antura Projects within that Portfolio become Boards within the Workspace. Portfolio-level priority and strategic alignment metadata migrates as custom fields on an administrative board within the Workspace. We confirm the customer's Trello plan tier during scoping because the Free plan restricts Workspace creation.

Antura

Activity History (comments, attachments, checklist progress)

maps to

Trello

Card activity feed and attachments

1:1
Fully supported

Antura stores task-level activity history including comments, file attachments, and status change logs. Trello Cards have a native activity feed and support attachments. We extract activity records from Antura's CSV export, parse comment text and timestamps, and inject them into Trello Card comment fields via the Trello API. File attachments on tasks map to Trello Card attachments. We note that Antura's detailed activity log structure (e.g., separate entries for status changes vs. comments) flattens into Trello's chronological comment feed, which is a loss of granularity that we document in the written inventory.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Antura has no public API; migration runs through CSV extraction

    We have found no publicly documented REST or bulk API endpoint for Antura. All data exits through CSV-based export within the application UI, which requires the customer to manually run multiple export steps per object type (Projects, Tasks, Resources, Cost Records, Time Entries, Documents). Large Antura instances with thousands of records may require chunked CSV exports. We guide the customer through the export process and process the resulting files, which cannot be automated end-to-end. This is a structural limitation that adds manual effort and extends the migration timeline compared to API-driven migrations.

  • Swedish-language field names in Antura exports require mapping resolution

    Antura's default installation presents Swedish-language labels for standard fields, meaning exported CSV column headers appear in Swedish (e.g., 'Projekt' for Project, 'Uppgift' for Task, 'Startdatum' for Start Date). We handle Swedish field name mapping during the transformation phase, but customers must confirm their Antura instance language settings during scoping. Custom fields created by the customer may use Swedish or mixed-language labels that we must disambiguate through the schema discovery phase. This is not a data loss risk but adds a scoping step not present in English-language platform migrations.

  • Archived Trello cards may not appear in standard Trello exports

    Atlassian community posts document that Trello's standard export (including JSON and CSV) does not include archived cards by default. Organizations with significant historical data stored in archived Trello boards must manually unarchive cards before running an export or migration import. If the customer's Trello instance contains archived boards with project-relevant data, we flag this during scoping and provide a step-by-step unarchiving guide for the customer's Trello admin to execute before the migration data collection phase.

  • Trello custom fields cannot be searched by value via API

    Trello's API has no endpoint to search for cards by custom field value. Community posts on Zapier and Atlassian forums confirm that card lookup by custom field data (e.g., finding a card by a customer ID stored in a custom field) is not supported natively. If the customer's workflow requires searching Trello cards by custom field values post-migration, this limitation must be acknowledged and addressed through a third-party Power-Up or manual process. We flag this as a post-migration configuration consideration rather than a migration-blocking issue.

  • Trello lacks native portfolio, cost, risk, and time-tracking objects

    Antura provides native Portfolio, Cost Record, Risk, Issue, and Time Entry objects. Trello provides none of these natively. Our migration strategy maps each to workarounds (custom fields, checklist items, administrative cards, labels), but these are partial substitutes that lose the structural reporting and automation capabilities of native objects. Organizations that rely heavily on Antura's PPM features must understand that Trello is a task management tool, not a PPM platform, before committing to migration. We document every gap in our written inventory and recommend Trello Premium with reporting Power-Ups (e.g., Screenful) to partially close the reporting gap.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Antura to Trello data migration

  1. Schema discovery and CSV extraction setup

    We guide the customer's Antura administrator through the CSV export process for each supported object: Projects, Sub-projects, Tasks, Resources, Risks, Issues, Milestones, Cost Records, Time Entries, and Documents. We run a schema discovery phase to inventory all active custom fields, confirm the Antura instance language setting (which determines Swedish vs. English column headers), and document the file structure of attached documents. This phase produces a data inventory document listing every object type, record count per type, and file attachment inventory for the document reattachment step. Duration: 3-5 business days of customer-side export work, supervised by FlitStack AI.

  2. Gap analysis and Trello plan selection

    We analyze the Antura data inventory against Trello's object model and produce a written gap analysis. This document identifies every Antura object without a native Trello equivalent (Portfolio, Resource, Cost, Risk, Issue, Time Entry, Milestone) and proposes a mapping strategy for each. We also confirm the customer's target Trello plan: Free (no custom fields), Standard ($5/user, required for custom fields), or Premium ($10/user, required for Timeline view and Workspace-level admin). The gap analysis is reviewed with the customer before any transformation work begins. Duration: 1 week.

  3. Data transformation and Swedish field name resolution

    We transform every Antura CSV export into Trello-compatible import format. This includes resolving Swedish column headers to English equivalents (e.g., 'Projekt' to 'Project'), splitting multi-value fields, mapping Antura task status values to Trello list positions, and encoding custom field values as Trello-native types (Number, Date, Dropdown, Checkbox, Text). Resource capacity and cost rate data are encoded as custom fields on administrative board cards. Risk and Issue severity/probability values map to custom field dropdowns. Duration: 1-2 weeks depending on custom field complexity.

  4. Trello Workspace and Board scaffolding

    We create the Trello Workspace structure (or Workspaces, if multiple Antura Portfolios exist) and scaffold all Boards and Lists via the Trello REST API before any card data is imported. Each Antura Portfolio becomes a Trello Workspace (on Standard or Premium plan). Each Antura Project becomes a Trello Board. Top-level Antura Sub-projects become either separate Boards linked via board description or Lists within the parent Board, per the strategy agreed during scoping. Lists within each Board are configured to reflect the customer's workflow stages (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Review, Done). Workspace members are invited based on the Antura Resource list. Duration: 3-5 business days.

  5. Card migration in dependency order

    We import data into Trello in dependency order: first Workspace members (so assignees resolve), then Boards (so cards have a destination), then Cards with custom fields, then Card attachments. Tasks import as Cards using Trello's bulk card creation API. Milestones import as Cards with milestone labels and due dates. Risks and Issues import as Cards with 'Risk' or 'Issue' labels and severity/probability custom fields. Activity history (comments) injects into card comment fields via the Trello API. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We use exponential backoff and batch chunking to stay within Trello's API rate limits (360 requests per minute per token for read operations; lower for write operations). Duration: 1-2 weeks depending on record volume.

  6. Document reattachment guidance and migration inventory delivery

    We deliver the Antura document file inventory (produced in Step 1) to the customer's IT team, with a mapping guide linking each document to its target Trello Card. The customer executes the file reattachment step in Antura's document export tool and Trello's card attachment interface, as binary file transfer falls outside standard data migration scope. We deliver the written migration inventory covering all migrated object counts, unmapped Antura fields, Trello gap analysis, and recommended post-migration configurations (Butler automation rules, Power-Up setup, reporting configuration). We conduct a one-week post-migration validation window where we spot-check record counts and flag any import discrepancies for correction.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for organizations under 5,000 tasks, 200 projects, and no cost or risk record complexity. Migrations with large cost record histories (over 10,000 cost line items), extensive risk registers, multiple portfolio hierarchies, or significant time entry volumes (over 50,000 entries) move to eight to twelve weeks because of CSV chunking, schema discovery, and the written gap analysis scope. The CSV extraction phase (customer-side) adds 3-5 business days to the front of any timeline and depends on how quickly the Antura administrator can run the export steps.
