In its favor
Why people choose Cobalt Project Manager
The signal that keeps Cobalt Project Manager on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Lowest-friction migration path when already embedded in the Cobalt ecosystem — existing user accounts and permission sets carry over without re-provisioning.
Simple, familiar interface that requires minimal training for team members accustomed to classic Gantt and board-based task layouts.
Competitor-listed on G2 as a recognized project management tool, giving procurement teams a verified option when evaluating alternatives.
Appeals to organizations with straightforward resource allocation and scope-monitoring needs that do not require deep portfolio-level analytics.
Active G2 listing with real user reviews provides an auditable reference point for security and compliance review during vendor selection.
No self-service export or bulk data-access API published publicly, forcing teams into manual extraction or expensive assisted-migration engagements.
Staging environment behaviour is poorly documented, creating a risk that migration logic validated in a test org fails identically in production.
Platform does not automate the migration process — the vendor explicitly advises against customer DIY approaches due to the intricacies of data sequencing and integrity.
Legacy data handling requires careful dependency mapping: base entity data must be loaded before any dependent child records, a constraint that slows down multi-wave migrations.

What gets migrated
Cobalt Project Manager object support
Object-by-object support for Cobalt Project Manager migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Projects
Fully supportedCobalt's primary container, with WBS-style task hierarchy, resource assignment, and scheduling. We migrate Projects 1:1 with their structure preserved.
Tasks
Fully supportedTasks include name, duration, dependency, assignee, % complete, and dates. We map Tasks to destination task objects and preserve parent-child relationships.
Subtasks
Fully supportedSubtasks live as indented child rows under a parent Task in the WBS. We preserve indentation depth during migration.
Assignees
Mapping requiredResource assignments link Users to Tasks. We match users by email or name and flag any unmatched assignees for customer review.
Comments
Mapping requiredTask-level notes and project comments are exportable. We preserve author attribution and timestamp where the destination supports them.
Attachments
Mapping requiredFile attachments are stored against Projects and Tasks. We export attachment metadata and binary files separately and re-link after primary record import.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCobalt allows custom fields on Projects and Tasks. We capture the field schema during scoping and recreate at the destination.
Dependencies
Fully supportedPredecessor/successor relationships between tasks are exportable. We preserve dependency type (FS, SS, FF, SF) and lag where supported.
Time Entries
Mapping requiredBuilt-in time tracking captures hours logged per task per user. We export time entries with their parent Task and User references.
Resources
Mapping requiredResource records (people, equipment) carry capacity and cost rate. We map Resources to destination resource pools and flag rate-card differences.
