Overview
Moving from LiquidPlanner to monday.com is a structural migration that translates an opinionated predictive-scheduling model into a visual, flexible Work OS. LiquidPlanner's Workspaces map to monday.com Workspaces, Projects map to Boards, Packages map to Groups within Boards, and Tasks map to Items — but the scheduling semantics differ fundamentally. LiquidPlanner uses range estimates (3–5 days) and automatic resource leveling to produce probabilistic completion dates; monday.com uses fixed start and end dates. We use the lower bound as the start and upper bound as the end, then flag tasks in long dependency chains for the customer's PM to verify. Multi-owner task assignments are split into individual Items with the effort ratio preserved as a note. We migrate time entries to monday.com's native Time Tracking column, member records to monday.com Users, and document attachments as linked references via Google Drive or Dropbox integration. We do not migrate LiquidPlanner's automations or predictive scheduling logic as code; we deliver a written inventory of both for the customer's admin to rebuild in monday.com's Automation or Integrations layer.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a LiquidPlanner object lands in monday Work Management, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
LiquidPlanner
Workspace
monday Work Management
Workspace
1:1LiquidPlanner Workspaces map to monday.com Workspaces at the account level. Workspace-level custom field definitions must be recreated in monday.com as custom columns on the relevant boards; they do not carry over as schema. Member lists from the Workspace migrate to monday.com Users, with Virtual Members flagged for admin decision (import as user or contact). Workspace-level settings (notifications, billing rates) do not have a direct monday.com equivalent.
LiquidPlanner
Project
monday Work Management
Board
1:1LiquidPlanner Projects map directly to monday.com Boards. We preserve the project name, baseline dates, status, and description. Project-level custom fields map as custom columns on the destination Board. The Project's priority ranking across the portfolio does not translate to a native monday.com field — we use the Priority column or a numeric ranking column as the equivalent. Multi-project dependency chains that span Boards require monday.com's Cross-Board Dependencies feature (Pro plan and above) or a workaround via the Lookup column.
LiquidPlanner
Package
monday Work Management
Group
1:1LiquidPlanner Packages are phase-level grouping containers within a Project, similar to monday.com Groups within a Board. We map them 1:1 and preserve the Package name, description, and any custom field values. If a Package contains Sub-Packages, we flatten those into Groups within the same Board. Package-level ordering (phase sequence) migrates as Group position order.
LiquidPlanner
Task
monday Work Management
Item
1:1LiquidPlanner Tasks map to monday.com Items. We migrate task name, description, assignee (single or split), start date (lower bound of range estimate), end date (upper bound of range estimate), priority, wait days, and custom field values. Tasks with range estimates are flagged in the pre-migration field-mapping document because monday.com uses fixed dates; the customer's PM verifies each flagged task's resulting timeline. Long-chain dependency tasks receive individual flags because LiquidPlanner's auto-rescheduling will not replicate in monday.com.
LiquidPlanner
Sub-Task
monday Work Management
Sub-item
1:manyLiquidPlanner Sub-Tasks migrate as monday.com Sub-items on Boards with Sub-items enabled (Pro plan and above). On Standard plan, Sub-Tasks flatten into the parent Item as checklist items. The Sub-Task name, assignee, and dates migrate. Sub-Task custom fields map as Sub-item columns on Pro+ or are appended to the checklist item note on Standard.
LiquidPlanner
Dependency
monday Work Management
Dependency column
1:1LiquidPlanner finish-to-start, start-to-start, and wait-day dependencies map to monday.com's Dependency column (Pro+). Cross-Board dependencies require monday.com's Cross-Board Dependency feature or a Lookup column workaround. Multi-step chains are resolved iteratively; circular dependencies are flagged for the customer's PM to resolve before migration. Wait days from LiquidPlanner are converted to adjusted target dates in monday.com because wait days have no native equivalent.
LiquidPlanner
Custom Field
monday Work Management
Custom Column
lossyLiquidPlanner Workspace and Project custom fields map to monday.com custom columns by type: text fields map to Text columns, numeric fields to Numbers columns, date fields to Date columns, dropdown fields to Dropdown columns, and checkbox fields to Checkbox columns. Custom field definitions (names, types, options) must be recreated in monday.com before migration; we provide the column configuration specification as part of the pre-migration field-mapping document.
LiquidPlanner
Time Entry
monday Work Management
Time Tracking column
1:1LiquidPlanner time entries — hours logged, billable vs. non-billable flags, billing rates, and individual timer entries — migrate to monday.com's native Time Tracking column on Boards with the feature enabled (Pro plan and above). Timesheet summaries migrate as a note on the relevant Item or as a separate reporting board built in monday.com. Approval workflow status from LiquidPlanner does not carry over; the customer's admin sets up a new approval workflow if required. Monday.com Standard has no Time Tracking column, so teams on that plan need the Pro plan or a third-party time tracking integration.
LiquidPlanner
Member
monday Work Management
User
1:1LiquidPlanner Member records (email, name, role, billing rate) map to monday.com User accounts. We resolve by email match during import. Members without an email or that are inactive in LiquidPlanner are held in a reconciliation queue. Role and billing rate from LiquidPlanner migrate as custom columns on the User profile board or as a separate resource board for the customer's PM to reference.
LiquidPlanner
Virtual Member
monday Work Management
User or Contact
lossyLiquidPlanner Virtual Members are external stakeholders without full licenses. We flag all Virtual Members during scoping and give the customer's admin two options: import as a monday.com User (with an explicit display-name note indicating Virtual Member status) or import as a Contact in the customer's connected CRM integration. Virtual Members cannot hold tasks in monday.com without a User seat, so this decision affects the billable user count.
LiquidPlanner
Document and Attachment
monday Work Management
Files column or cloud integration
1:1LiquidPlanner file attachments on Tasks and Projects migrate as references. If the customer has a Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box integration configured in monday.com, we import file URLs as Drive Link columns pointing to the existing document. Standalone file attachments without a cloud storage home are exported to a flat folder structure and linked as URL columns; the customer's admin relocates them to a supported storage system post-migration.
LiquidPlanner
Milestone
monday Work Management
Item with milestone indicator
1:1LiquidPlanner Milestones (zero-duration tasks with a target date) migrate to monday.com Items with a milestone flag or a dedicated Milestones column. Milestone name and target date transfer. Milestones that drive downstream dependencies via LiquidPlanner's scheduling engine are flagged individually because monday.com does not auto-propagate milestone changes through dependent chains.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and plan verification
We audit the source LiquidPlanner account: plan tier (Essentials, Professional, or Ultimate), Workspace count, Project count, Package structure, task volume, dependency chain depth, custom field count, Virtual Member count, time entry volume, and document attachment count. We also verify whether the source account is on Classic or Portfolio Manager because the data export paths differ. The discovery output is a written migration scope, an extraction path recommendation (API vs CSV export), and a monday.com plan recommendation (Standard for basic task management, Pro for Time Tracking, Sub-items, and Cross-Board Dependencies). If the customer is on LiquidPlanner Essentials or Professional, we discuss the plan upgrade or manual export path before proceeding.
Pre-migration board and column design
We design the monday.com destination schema based on the LiquidPlanner structure audit. This includes provisioning Boards (one per Project), Groups (one per Package), and custom columns (mapped from LiquidPlanner custom fields by type). We configure the Dependency column on Boards that will host tasks with cross-task dependencies. We design the range-estimate resolution strategy (lower bound to start, upper bound to end) and flag the resulting date pairs for PM review. We also map Virtual Members to a disposition (User or Contact) based on the customer's pre-decided approach. The column configuration specification is delivered as a shared document before any data is extracted.
Data extraction and normalization
For Ultimate-plan customers, we extract data via the LiquidPlanner Open API using batched requests with rate-limit handling. For Essentials and Professional customers, we extract via CSV export and normalize the output by mapping exported column names to LiquidPlanner API field names, reconciling multi-owner task rows, and building a structured import dataset. Virtual Members are isolated into a separate reconciliation list. Dependency chains are extracted as a separate graph and resolved into monday.com dependency pairs. Time entries are extracted with task references for remapping to monday.com Item IDs after item creation.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a monday.com Sandbox Board or into a cloned workspace before production. The customer's PM reviews 25-50 randomly sampled Items against the LiquidPlanner source, verifies date accuracy for range-estimate conversions, confirms dependency chain integrity, and signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections — including consolidation of multi-owner tasks, custom field type adjustments, or Virtual Member disposition changes — happen at this stage.
Production migration in structural order
We run production migration in dependency order: Workspace members and Virtual Members (resolved to User or Contact), Boards (from Projects), Groups (from Packages), Items (from Tasks with range-estimate conversion applied and flagged), Sub-items (from Sub-Tasks), Dependencies (from LiquidPlanner dependency graph with wait days converted to adjusted dates), custom column values (from LiquidPlanner custom fields), time entries (to monday.com Time Tracking column on Pro+ boards), and document attachments (as Drive Link or URL columns). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Cross-Board dependencies are established last after all Boards exist.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze writes in LiquidPlanner during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the Automation Rebuild Inventory: a written document listing every LiquidPlanner scheduling behavior, assignment rule, and notification trigger with a recommended monday.com Automation recipe for each. We do not rebuild automations as part of the migration scope. We support a one-week post-migration hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. monday.com subscription billing begins after cutover at the customer's chosen plan tier.
