Migrate from Ganttic to Trello

Ganttic Resources (people, rooms, vehicles, equipment) map to Trello Board Members for task assignment. A single Ganttic Resource assigned to multiple Projects on different dates resolves to one Trello Member record with Cards on multiple Boards. Resources with Data Field values (department, role, skillset) map to Custom Fields on the Member profile if Trello Premium is confirmed, or to Card Labels if the destination is a lower tier. Archived Resources in Ganttic are excluded from migration by default, reducing the customer's post-migration Ganttic plan cost.

Ganttic Resource Grouping (hierarchical groupings by Data Field values like department, location, or skillset) maps to Trello Labels. Each distinct grouping value becomes a Label with a color code. Nested groupings flatten into a single Label hierarchy per Board since Trello Labels do not support parent-child relationships. We preserve the grouping field name in the Label description for audit.

Ganttic Projects map to Trello Boards. Project duration (start date, end date) maps to the Board description field, and project-level Data Fields (List, Check, Text, Number, Date) map to Custom Fields on a template Card or to Board description metadata. We create one Board per Ganttic Project, preserving the project name and any archived status as a Board label.

Ganttic Tasks map to Trello Cards. Task start and end dates map to Card due dates; assignees (Resource assignments on Tasks) map to Card Members via the Resource-to-Member lookup. Task Data Fields migrate as Custom Fields on each Card. Tasks without explicit due dates become Cards with no due date, placed in the first List of the destination Board.

Ganttic Milestones are date Data Fields on Projects rather than a distinct object. We extract every Project Data Field of type Date and evaluate whether it represents a milestone (named with keywords like milestone, deadline, go-live, kickoff, launch). Named milestones map to a summary Card with a due date and a checklist of dependent child Tasks. Anonymous date fields map to the parent Card's due date if the Task itself carries that date. We document the full Milestone mapping in the discovery output so the customer confirms the intended conversion strategy.

Ganttic's nine Data Field types on Projects (List, Multi-Select, Check, Text, Number, Date, User, Link, Auto Increment) map to Trello Custom Fields. Custom Fields are available on Trello Premium and Enterprise plans only; Standard and Free tiers require us to map List and Multi-Select to Labels and Check to a Label color, Text to Card description, Number and Date to due date or checklist, and User to Card Members. We confirm the destination Trello tier during scoping and generate a pre-migration seed script for any picklist values in List or Multi-Select Data Fields.

Resource Data Fields (department, skillset, location, role, hourly rate) map to Trello Custom Fields on Board Members (Premium/Enterprise) or to Card Labels and checklist items (Standard/Free). Number-type fields like hourly rate map to a Custom Field of type Number or to a Card checklist item. We flag any Resource Data Field that has mandatory validation in Ganttic so the customer confirms whether that constraint applies in Trello.

Task Data Fields (the same nine-type system as Projects and Resources) map to Trello Custom Fields on Cards. Multi-Select fields with multiple values per Card require Trello Custom Fields with the Multiple option enabled (Premium+). If the destination tier is Standard or Free, Multi-Select values collapse into a single comma-separated Text Custom Field. We generate the pre-migration seed script for all picklist values in List and Multi-Select Data Fields during discovery.

Ganttic Custom Views define per-view time periods, grouping criteria, and filter configurations. Trello does not have a native view-configuration object, so we export all Custom View settings as part of discovery and deliver a written Board configuration document that maps each Ganttic View to a recommended Trello Board structure (List order, Label scheme, filter settings, and Power-Up recommendation). The customer's admin recreates views manually from this document.

Ganttic Reports export as CSV or PDF and may contain calculated metrics (resource utilization percentages, project completion rates, task duration summaries). We extract CSV exports during discovery to capture calculated values. Trello has no native reporting engine beyond basic Board statistics; we deliver a written reporting inventory documenting each Ganttic Report's structure and recommended Trello or third-party replacement (Atlassian Analytics, Google Sheets, or a connected BI tool).

Ganttic assigns Resources to Tasks with optional allocation percentage (e.g., Alice at 50% on Task A, 50% on Task B). Trello Cards support Member assignment but not allocation percentages. We resolve each Resource allocation by creating a Card for each distinct assignment and documenting the original allocation percentage in a Card label or Custom Field. For utilization reporting, we export a capacity summary CSV during discovery for the customer to build utilization tracking in a connected spreadsheet.

Ganttic's shift feature moves an entire Project along with all its Tasks and Milestones on the timeline. The documentation confirms this action cannot be automatically reversed. We capture the full pre-shift state of all Projects before migration begins so the customer's Ganttic instance remains undisturbed during parallel-run validation. The pre-migration snapshot is included in the discovery export as a JSON artifact for the customer's records.
