Overview
Moving from Artemis 7 to Asana is a migration from a platform with no documented public API to one with a fully documented REST API and bulk export tools. The primary technical challenge is extraction: Artemis 7 has no API, so we work from CSV exports and screen-scraped data with per-project custom field definitions that must be deduplicated across all active projects before loading. We preserve task hierarchy (parent-child relationships), assignees, dates, and estimated hours directly. Milestones migrate as date-based Milestones in Asana. Resource allocation percentages convert to Asana's workload view assignments. Time entries migrate to Asana's built-in time-tracking rows. Gantt dependencies (Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish, Start-to-Finish) map to Asana's dependency rules, with unsupported dependency types flagged for manual resolution. Attachment URLs are platform-bound and non-portable; we deliver a complete list for manual re-upload rather than include broken links. Workflows, automations, and project templates do not migrate; we inventory them for your admin to rebuild in Asana Rules.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Artemis 7 object lands in Asana, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Artemis 7
Project
Asana
Project
1:1Artemis 7 Projects map directly to Asana Projects. Project name, description, status, start date, and target end date migrate as-is. We use the Asana Projects API (POST /projects) to create each project. Active/inactive status in Artemis 7 maps to the project's archived flag in Asana.
Artemis 7
Task
Asana
Task
1:1Artemis 7 Tasks migrate to Asana Tasks with name, assignee, start date, due date, estimated hours, and status preserved. Parent-child relationships in Artemis 7 (subtasks) migrate as Asana Subtasks (a task within a task) using the subtask nesting structure. We reconstruct the full task tree during import and verify parent_id references are resolved before committing.
Artemis 7
Milestone
Asana
Milestone
1:1Artemis 7 Milestones are date-driven markers associated with a Project. We create Asana Milestones using the Asana Milestones API (POST /milestones) linked to the parent project. Milestone name and due date migrate directly; Artemis 7 milestone owner maps to an Asana task assignee on the milestone task itself.
Artemis 7
Resource
Asana
Task Assignee + Workload
lossyArtemis 7 Resources contain user name, role, and availability (hours or percentage). Asana does not have a dedicated resource pool; instead, assignments are made directly on tasks via the tasks/addProject or membership endpoints. We map resource availability to task assignments in the workload view. Availability hours convert to estimated hours on tasks; percentage allocation maps to a workload entry.
Artemis 7
Time Entry
Asana
Time Tracking Row
1:1Artemis 7 time entries (hours logged against a task and user) migrate to Asana time tracking entries using the Asana time tracking API. We ask the customer to confirm whether billing rates and billable flags should migrate as custom fields on the time entry or remain in a separate sheet. Asana's time tracking is per-task and per-user.
Artemis 7
Gantt Dependency
Asana
Dependency
lossyArtemis 7 stores Gantt dependencies as relationship metadata (Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish, Start-to-Finish). Asana Timeline supports Finish-to-Start dependencies natively. Start-to-Start and Finish-to-Finish are not native; we flag these as unsupported, convert them to Finish-to-Start with an adjusted offset date where possible, and deliver a dependency change-log so the customer can manually verify the adjusted dates.
Artemis 7
Custom Field (per-project)
Asana
Custom Field (global)
lossyArtemis 7 custom fields are defined per-project. We consolidate unique field names across all active projects during scoping, resolve data type conflicts (e.g., two fields named Priority but one is text, one is picklist), and create global Asana custom fields for each unique, non-conflicting field. Conflicting fields are renamed with a project prefix and mapped per-project during import.
Artemis 7
User
Asana
User
1:1Artemis 7 user records (name, email, role) map to Asana Workspace members. We match by email. The customer must provision Asana accounts for any Artemis 7 user without an existing Asana account before migration. Inactive Artemis 7 users are imported as deactivated Asana users for historical record continuity.
Artemis 7
Section
Asana
Section
1:1Artemis 7 task groupings or task lists within a project map to Asana Sections. Section name and task ordering migrate directly. Sections provide grouping in Asana List view equivalent to Artemis 7's task list view.
Artemis 7
Tag
Asana
Tag
1:1Artemis 7 task tags migrate to Asana Tags using the tags API. Tags are workspace-level in Asana and can be applied to multiple projects. Tag names migrate as-is; tag colors are not preserved unless the customer provides a color map.
Artemis 7
Attachment URL
Asana
Flagged for Re-Upload
1:1Artemis 7 stores attachments as URLs to its own internal file service. These URLs expire or break when the account is deprovisioned. We do not include attachment URLs in the migrated dataset. We extract every attachment reference, map it to the parent task, and deliver a CSV listing task name, file name (from URL), and file type so the customer can manually re-upload each file to Asana or a linked storage service.
Artemis 7
Risk
Asana
Custom Field or Task
lossyArtemis 7 includes risk tracking as a standard feature. Asana has no native risk object. We ask the customer to choose: risks migrate as tasks in a dedicated Risks project with a risk-type custom field, or risks migrate as a custom field on the related project task. We do not assume the data model.

Migration approach
Discovery and export scoping
We ask the customer to provide a full export of all Artemis 7 data across every active project, including custom field definitions per project, task hierarchies, milestone records, resource assignments, time entries, and Gantt dependency data. We audit the export for missing columns, inconsistent headers, and duplicate custom field names. We identify every non-Finish-to-Start dependency type and flag them for conversion. We ask the customer to identify which projects are active versus archived so we do not migrate dead projects into Asana.
Custom field deduplication and Asana schema setup
We consolidate all unique custom field names across the customer's active projects, resolve data type conflicts, and create a global custom field map for Asana. Conflicting fields (same name, different type) receive project-prefixed names and are mapped per-project during import. We create the corresponding Asana custom fields via API before any task data is loaded. We set up Asana sections, portfolios, and any custom status columns the customer uses.
Dependency analysis and conversion
We extract all Gantt dependency records from the Artemis 7 export, identify the dependency type for each, and separate Finish-to-Start (migrates natively) from Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish, and Start-to-Finish (require conversion). We compute date offsets for convertible dependencies and generate a dependency change-log. Non-convertible dependencies are flagged for manual resolution after migration. This step is completed before production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a test Asana Workspace (not production) using the exported data volume. The customer's PM lead reconciles record counts (projects in, tasks in, milestones in, custom field values in), spot-checks 25-50 random tasks against the Artemis 7 source, and verifies the dependency change-log entries. Any mapping corrections, custom field renames, or dependency adjustments happen in this phase.
User provisioning and owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct Artemis 7 user referenced on tasks, milestones, and resource assignments and match by email against the Asana Workspace. Any Artemis 7 user without a matching Asana account goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer provisions Asana accounts for missing users before production migration. Migration cannot load tasks with assignee references that do not resolve.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Asana Workspace and sections first, then projects, then tasks with parent-child hierarchy reconstructed, then milestones, then time entries, then custom field values, then dependencies (with conversion applied), then tags, then the attachment re-upload list. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We freeze Artemis 7 writes during cutover and run a final delta pass for any records modified during the migration window.
Cutover, validation, and handoff
We enable Asana as the system of record and disable write access to Artemis 7. We deliver the attachment re-upload CSV, the dependency change-log for manual review, and the automation/workflow inventory document listing every Artemis 7 workflow or automated rule the customer should rebuild in Asana Rules. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild automations or project templates as part of the migration scope.
