Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Artemis 7 to Trello is a schema simplification and data-reconstruction migration. Artemis 7 uses a traditional project hierarchy (Projects containing Tasks, Subtasks, Milestones, and Resources) with no public API and per-project custom fields. Trello uses boards containing lists containing cards, with a native Custom Fields Power-Up for structured data. We export from Artemis 7's available formats (CSV, XLSX, or platform exports), transform the task tree into card-and-checklist hierarchies, consolidate identically-named custom fields across all active projects into a single Trello board schema, and load via Trello's REST API. Gantt dependency types, time entries, and resource allocation percentages map to Trello card fields, labels, and the built-in Activity log. We do not migrate automations (Butler rules or Power-Up automations) as code; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Trello.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Artemis 7

What's pushing teams away

  • Customers migrate to modern PPM platforms (Planview, Broadcom Clarity, ChangePoint, Smartsheet, Monday) when their Aurea entitlement leaves them on legacy versions without compelling new-feature releases.
  • Aurea's acquisition model concentrates many legacy enterprise tools into one portfolio and customers report concerns about long-term roadmap investment in any single product line.
  • No publicly indexed API documentation, complicating integration with modern devops and finance toolchains.
  • Sales-led pricing with no published tiers makes it hard to benchmark cost against newer per-user PPM vendors.
  • Limited public review footprint (very few G2/Capterra reviews and minimal community discussion) makes peer due diligence difficult.

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 Artemis 7 objects map to Trello

Each row shows how a Artemis 7 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.

Artemis 7

Project

maps to

Trello

Board

1:1
Fully supported

Artemis 7 Projects map to Trello Boards. Project name becomes the board name, description maps to the board description field, status (Active/On Hold/Complete) maps to board archival or a status label. We create one board per Artemis 7 project during migration, preserving the original project owner as the board's first admin member.

Artemis 7

Task

maps to

Trello

Card

1:1
Fully supported

Artemis 7 Tasks map to Trello Cards. Task name becomes card title; description maps to card description (markdown preserved). Status maps to a Trello label (e.g., 'To Do', 'In Progress', 'Done') or list position depending on whether the destination board uses labels or lists to represent task states. We resolve the assignee email from Artemis 7 to a Trello member and add them to the card.

Artemis 7

Task (Subtask)

maps to

Trello

Checklist Item or Linked Card

1:many
Fully supported

Artemis 7 subtasks with a parent Task reference become either checklist items within the parent Trello card (preferred for fewer than 15 subtasks) or child cards linked via a Power-Up like Card Dependencies (for complex hierarchies or subtasks with independent assignees and due dates). We flag subtasks exceeding 15 items for explicit customer choice during scoping.

Artemis 7

Milestone

maps to

Trello

Card with Due Date

1:1
Fully supported

Artemis 7 Milestones (date-driven markers) map to Trello Cards created in a dedicated Milestones list. The milestone name becomes the card title, the due date migrates as the card due date, and a 'Milestone' label is applied. Milestones without an explicit task association are standalone cards; milestones attached to a specific task are applied as due dates on the corresponding card.

Artemis 7

Resource

maps to

Trello

Board Member

1:1
Fully supported

Artemis 7 Resources (user name, role, availability) map to Trello Board Members. We resolve by email match; any Artemis 7 resource without an email is flagged for the customer to provide an email or create a placeholder Trello account. Role names map to Trello label colors or a dedicated role label on the member's cards. Availability and capacity percentage do not migrate as native Trello fields; we note them in a card custom field or the card description for manual tracking.

Artemis 7

Time Entry

maps to

Trello

Card Activity Log Entry

1:1
Fully supported

Artemis 7 Time Entries (hours, user, task) migrate as card activity comments or custom field entries in Trello. We extract the total hours per task and append as a formatted comment (e.g., 'Time logged: 3.5h by j.smith on 2025-03-12'). For customers with time-tracking Power-Ups pre-configured, we map directly to the Power-Up's API. Native billable flags and billing rates require explicit confirmation during scoping and map to a Trello custom field if the destination board has the Custom Fields Power-Up active.

Artemis 7

Gantt Dependency

maps to

Trello

Card Link (Related Card) or Power-Up

1:1
Fully supported

Artemis 7 Gantt dependency metadata (Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish) cannot map natively to Trello, which has no built-in dependency graph. We map to Trello card links (one card linking to another) using the Card Dependencies Power-Up if the customer has it active, or manual card URL references if not. We flag all dependencies with unsupported types (Finish-to-Finish, Start-to-Start) as items requiring admin review post-migration.

Artemis 7

Custom Field (per-project)

maps to

Trello

Custom Field (board-level)

lossy
Fully supported

Artemis 7 custom fields are defined independently per project. During scoping we ask the customer to identify all active projects and consolidate unique custom field names. Fields with identical names across projects map to a single Trello Custom Field definition on the target board. Fields with identical names but different data types (e.g., text in Project A, number in Project B) are the most common source of import errors and are flagged as a reconciliation step requiring customer decision before data load.

Artemis 7

Attachment URL

maps to

Trello

Flag List (No Migration)

1:1
Fully supported

Artemis 7 attachments are stored as URLs referencing the platform's own file storage service. These URLs expire or break when the Artemis 7 account is deprovisioned. We do not include attachment URLs in the migrated dataset. We extract and deliver a flag list of every attachment URL with its associated card name and original Artemis 7 project so the customer can manually re-upload files to Trello as card attachments post-migration.

Artemis 7

Project Status

maps to

Trello

Board Archived State

1:1
Fully supported

Artemis 7 project status values (Active, On Hold, Complete, Archived) map to Trello's board archival feature. Projects with status 'Archived' or 'Complete' are migrated as archived Trello boards. Projects with 'On Hold' receive a status label 'On Hold' on all cards or are moved to an archived list within the active board.

Artemis 7

Task Priority

maps to

Trello

Label

1:1
Fully supported

Artemis 7 priority values (Critical, High, Medium, Low) map to Trello label colors. We apply a consistent label color scheme (e.g., red for Critical, orange for High, yellow for Medium, green for Low) across all boards migrated. If the destination Trello workspace already uses labels for another purpose, we coordinate with the customer to define a non-conflicting label schema during scoping.

Artemis 7

Task Start/End Date

maps to

Trello

Card Due Date and Start Date (Power-Up)

1:1
Fully supported

Artemis 7 start and end dates map to Trello card due dates. Trello natively supports due dates on cards; start dates require a Power-Up (Custom Fields 'Start Date' type) or can be stored in the card description. We map the Artemis 7 end date to Trello due date; if start date tracking is required, we create a custom field of type date on boards that have the Custom Fields Power-Up active.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Artemis 7 has no public API — data comes from exports

    The research found no API endpoint, API key management, or developer documentation for Artemis 7 PM. Migration uses whatever export format the platform supports at the time of scoping (CSV, XLSX, or a proprietary export). Column headers vary across pages and projects, and the export may omit relationships that exist in the UI (e.g., the parent reference on subtasks may not appear in the default export). We ask customers to provide a full export during scoping and run a header-consistency audit before any transformation work begins. If the export is incomplete, we flag the gap and recommend a targeted UI export for the missing records.

  • Per-project custom fields require explicit consolidation

    Artemis 7 allows custom fields to be defined independently per project. The same field name (e.g., 'Client Name') may exist as a text field in one project and a dropdown in another. Trello Custom Fields are board-level definitions with a fixed type. We cannot load data into a Trello custom field if the source data type does not match. During scoping we ask the customer to identify all active projects and review unique custom field names. Duplicate field names with incompatible types go to a consolidation table where the customer chooses the canonical type before we proceed to data load.

  • Attachment URLs are platform-bound and non-portable

    Artemis 7 stores file attachments as URLs pointing to its own internal file service. These URLs expire or become inaccessible when the Artemis 7 account is deprovisioned. Trello does not accept external file URLs as card attachments — files must be uploaded directly. We do not include attachment URLs in the migrated dataset. We extract and deliver a separate flag list of every attachment with its associated card name, original Artemis 7 project, and the file name so the customer can re-upload manually or through a file-sharing workflow post-migration.

  • Gantt dependencies have no native Trello equivalent

    Artemis 7 stores Gantt dependencies as relationship metadata (Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish). Trello has no built-in dependency graph or Gantt view. Cross-card dependencies require a Power-Up like Card Dependencies (by St赡养_PowerUps), Corrello (for Gantt visualization), or manual card linking. We map supported dependency types to linked cards and flag Finish-to-Finish and Start-to-Start types as requiring a Power-Up configuration or admin review. Teams that rely heavily on Gantt scheduling should evaluate whether a Trello Power-Up provides sufficient dependency tracking before migration.

  • Automations (Butler rules) do not migrate as code

    Artemis 7 workflows and task-assignment rules do not have a documented export format. Trello's automation layer (Butler) uses a rule-builder interface that is not API-representable. We do not migrate automations as code in either direction. We deliver a written inventory of every observed Artemis 7 workflow or rule pattern (e.g., 'when task status changes to Done, notify owner') and map it to a Trello Butler rule equivalent where one exists. The customer's admin configures Butler rules in Trello post-migration based on the inventory document.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Artemis 7 to Trello data migration

  1. Export extraction and header audit

    We ask the customer to provide a full data export from Artemis 7 in the highest-fidelity format available (XLSX preferred over CSV for relationship preservation). We run a header-consistency audit across all project exports, identify subtask parent references, custom field definitions per project, and any columns that appear only in some exports. This audit output drives the consolidation and transformation specification before any API calls to Trello are made.

  2. Custom field consolidation and board schema design

    We compile a unique list of all custom field names across active Artemis 7 projects. Duplicate names with different data types go to a consolidation table where the customer chooses the canonical type and format for Trello. We design the Trello board schema: board names from project names, list names from the customer's preferred workflow stages (or default To Do/In Progress/Review/Done), label schema for priority and status, and custom field definitions for consolidated custom fields. If the Card Dependencies Power-Up is active in the destination workspace, we configure dependency links at this stage.

  3. Member resolution and workspace provisioning

    We extract every distinct assignee, owner, and resource from Artemis 7 and resolve them by email against the destination Trello workspace membership. Owners without a matching Trello account go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision or invite. Resource role information is preserved as a label or custom field entry on each member's cards. Migration cannot proceed to card creation until all card assignees have a resolved Trello workspace membership.

  4. Board and list creation via Trello API

    We use the Trello REST API to create boards in dependency order (projects without parent projects first, then dependent projects). For each board we create the configured lists and apply the label schema. We then create the Custom Fields Power-Up schema on each board using the Trello Custom Fields API endpoint. All API calls use exponential backoff on rate-limit responses (100-200 requests per 10-second burst window per Trello's documented limits).

  5. Card creation in hierarchy order

    We create Trello cards in dependency order: top-level tasks first (no parent reference), then child tasks and subtasks as checklist items or linked cards. Milestones create as cards in a dedicated Milestones list with due dates applied. Each card receives its assignees, due dates (end date from Artemis 7), priority labels, and custom field values from the consolidated schema. Time entries append as card comments in the format 'Time logged: {hours}h by {user} on {date}'. Gantt dependencies create as card links using the Card Dependencies Power-Up if available, or manual URL references if not.

  6. Reconciliation, flag list delivery, and cutover handoff

    We run a row-count reconciliation comparing Artemis 7 project count, task count, subtask count, milestone count, and custom field value count against the Trello board, card, checklist, and custom field value count. We deliver the attachment URL flag list with file names and associated card targets. We deliver the automation inventory document for Trello Butler rebuild. We freeze writes in Artemis 7 during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the window. We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues.

Destination

Strengths

  • Generous free tier with unlimited users and 10 boards, the lowest barrier to entry among major project management tools.
  • Intuitive drag-and-drop Kanban interface requires no training or onboarding documentation.
  • Deep Atlassian integration with Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket for teams already in the ecosystem.
  • Built-in Butler automation covers rule-based triggers without requiring third-party integrations.

Migrations under 20 projects and 3,000 tasks land between three and five weeks. Migrations with 20-50 projects, complex per-project custom field matrices, or large task hierarchies exceeding 10,000 tasks move to eight to twelve weeks. The main time driver is the custom field consolidation phase, where duplicate field names with incompatible data types require customer decisions before data load. Gantt dependency mapping and the attachment flag list preparation also add scope at the upper end.
