Overview
Moving from ONES.com to Asana is a cross-platform migration that requires transforming a development-lifecycle data model into a general-purpose task and project management platform. ONES.com organizes work as Projects containing Tasks, Requirements, Sprints, Bugs, and TestCases within a tightly integrated software-development product family. Asana uses a Workspace-Team-Project-Task hierarchy with no native sprint object, no test-case record type, and no Requirements object. We map ONES Projects to Asana Projects, preserve task parent-child relationships, translate Requirements and Bugs to Tasks with custom field flags, and represent Sprints as date ranges applied to tasks via Asana Timeline or custom Start and Due Date fields. Automation rules and CI/CD pipeline configurations from ONES Project and ONES Build have no export path and must be rebuilt manually in Asana. We deliver a written inventory of every active automation rule and pipeline so the customer knows exactly what rebuild work remains after cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a ONES.com 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.
ONES.com
Project
Asana
Project
1:1ONES Project maps directly to Asana Project. Project name, description, template origin (Scrum, Kanban, general), and created/modified timestamps migrate. Project-level member roles map to Asana project membership. The project template type is preserved in a custom field project_template__c so the customer's admin can reapply the appropriate template structure in Asana if desired.
ONES.com
Task
Asana
Task
1:1ONES Task maps to Asana Task with parent-child hierarchy preserved through Asana's subtask structure. Task fields that migrate directly include name, description (rich text), assignee, priority, status workflow, due date, start date, time tracking values, and created/modified timestamps. Custom fields on Tasks translate to equivalent Asana custom fields by type: text fields to Asana Text, numeric fields to Number, date fields to Date, dropdown fields to Multi-select or Enum picklist.
ONES.com
Bug
Asana
Task
lossyONES Bug is a specialized work item with severity, steps-to-reproduce, and environment fields. We map Bugs to Asana Tasks with a custom Boolean field is_bug__c set to true, a custom Enum field bug_severity__c (Critical, High, Medium, Low), and steps_to_reproduce__c as a Text field. Bug status workflows map to Asana task sections or a dedicated Status Enum. Bugs can be isolated into a separate Asana Project if the customer prefers a dedicated bug board.
ONES.com
Requirement
Asana
Task
lossyONES Requirements are distinct work items capturing product specifications and linking to Tasks or TestCases. Asana has no native Requirements object, so we map Requirements to Tasks with a custom Boolean field is_requirement__c set to true, and the requirement body migrates to the task description. Links to downstream Tasks and TestCases are preserved as Asana subtasks or custom field references (requirement_links__c) so traceability is not lost.
ONES.com
TestCase
Asana
Task
lossyONES TestCase records contain test steps, expected results, and pass/fail history linked to Requirements and Builds. Asana has no native test-case record type. We map TestCases to Tasks with a custom Boolean field is_test_case__c, a Text field test_steps__c holding the step sequence, and a Text field expected_results__c. Test run history migrates as subtasks or as comments on the parent TestCase task. If the customer requires a dedicated test management tool post-migration, we note this as a separate tooling decision.
ONES.com
Sprint
Asana
Date range (Timeline or custom fields)
lossyONES Sprint is a time-boxed iteration containing a set of Tasks with start/end dates and goal description. Asana has no native sprint object. We preserve sprint associations by applying ONES Sprint start and end dates to the relevant Tasks using Asana Start Date and Due Date fields, enabling Timeline view visualization of sprint scope. Sprint goal description migrates as a custom Text field sprint_goal__c. Active versus completed sprint status is tracked via a custom Enum field sprint_status__c.
ONES.com
Wiki Page
Asana
Goals or Project Description
1:1ONES Wiki pages migrate to Asana Goals if they represent project-level documentation, or to Project Description fields for project-level context. Rich-text content, headings, and lists transfer directly. Complex tables that exceed Asana's rendering width are flagged during audit and exported as Word (.docx) attachments to preserve layout. ONES wide-table PDF export truncation is a known issue; we use the Word export path for table-heavy pages.
ONES.com
User / Member
Asana
User
1:1ONES Project members assigned to Projects, Tasks, Bugs, and TestCases map to Asana Users by email address. We resolve every distinct ONES Owner referenced across all migrating records and match by email against the destination Asana organization's user list. Any ONES user without a matching Asana User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import proceeds.
ONES.com
Attachment
Asana
Attachment
1:1Attachments on Tasks, Bugs, and Wiki pages are downloaded from ONES storage and re-uploaded to Asana via the Asana API. Asana's API enforces a 100MB per-file attachment limit. Any attachment exceeding this threshold is flagged during audit, and we provide a list of oversized files with their record association so the customer's admin can either store them externally and link, or proceed without them. Standard-sized attachments migrate in batched API calls with retry handling.
ONES.com
Custom Field
Asana
Custom Field
1:1ONES Project custom fields (text, number, date, dropdown, user reference) map to Asana custom fields of equivalent type. Text maps to Asana Text, numbers to Number, dates to Date, single-select dropdowns to Enum, multi-select dropdowns to Multi-select Enum, and user references to Assignee or Members. Custom field values are mapped to the newly created Asana custom fields during data load. Fields without an Asana equivalent (rare, but noted during discovery) are listed in the migration report for the admin to address.
ONES.com
Automation Rule
Asana
N/A (manual rebuild required)
1:1ONES Project automation rules (task status triggers, assignee actions, notification rules) have no documented export or migration API. We do not attempt to migrate automation rules. During discovery, we inventory every active automation rule and deliver a written rules inventory document with each rule's trigger conditions, actions, and a recommended Asana Rules equivalent. The customer's admin rebuilds rules in Asana Rules (available on Premium and above) post-migration.
ONES.com
Pipeline Configuration
Asana
N/A (manual rebuild required)
1:1CI/CD pipeline definitions in ONES Build and ONES Pipeline are tightly coupled to the ONES execution environment and connected repositories. These configurations are not portable across platforms. We do not migrate pipeline data. We flag the existence of ONES Pipeline records during discovery and note that pipeline definitions must be rebuilt in the destination CI/CD platform (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar). Build records that are referenced by TestCases are noted as read-only historical data.

Engagement: Comment
Asana
Comment
1:1Comments on Tasks, Bugs, Requirements, and TestCases in ONES migrate as Asana Comments on the corresponding Tasks. Comment author is resolved by email match to the destination Asana User. Comment timestamp is preserved. Rich-text formatting in ONES comments is simplified to plain text in Asana Comments where the formatting model differs.

Migration approach
Discovery and export-path assessment
We audit every ONES product in scope: ONES Project (Projects, Tasks, Requirements, Sprints, Bugs, Automation Rules), ONES TestCase (TestCases, TestPlans, TestRuns), ONES Wiki (page trees, tables, attachments), and ONES Build (Pipeline references). Because ONES.com lacks a unified migration API, we assess which export paths are available for each module: administrative CSV export, direct database query (for on-premises deployments), or manual export via the ONES UI. We count total records per object, identify custom field definitions, audit automation rule count, flag oversized attachments, and identify wiki pages with wide tables. The discovery output is a written migration scope specifying export method per module and any known data-extraction constraints.
Schema design and sprint-translation plan
We design the destination Asana workspace structure: Projects (mapped from ONES Projects), custom fields (mapped from ONES custom field definitions), and the sprint-translation strategy. Because Asana has no native sprint object, we define a custom field set (sprint_goal__c, sprint_status__c) and establish that ONES Sprint start/end dates apply to assigned Tasks as Start Date and Due Date fields. For Bugs, Requirements, and TestCases, we define the custom-field flags (is_bug__c, is_requirement__c, is_test_case__c) and the additional fields (bug_severity__c, test_steps__c, expected_results__c). This schema is validated in an Asana Sandbox or test workspace before any production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a test Asana workspace using production-like data volume to validate record counts, field mapping, parent-child task hierarchy preservation, attachment upload success rates, and sprint date-range application on tasks. The customer's project lead spot-checks 25-50 random records across Projects, Tasks, Bugs, Requirements, and TestCases against the ONES source and signs off the mapping before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections, custom field type adjustments, or attachment-size issues surface here and are resolved before production.
User and owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct ONES user referenced on Tasks, Bugs, Requirements, TestCases, and Sprint assignments and match by email against the destination Asana organization's user list. Any ONES user without a matching Asana User is placed in a reconciliation queue. The customer's Asana admin provisions missing users before record import resumes. Owner resolution must complete before any record with an assignee field is imported because Asana enforces valid OwnerId references.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Asana Projects (from ONES Projects), then Tasks with parent-child hierarchy resolved (Tasks must reference their parent Task GIDs), then Bugs (mapped to Tasks with is_bug__c), Requirements (mapped to Tasks with is_requirement__c), TestCases (mapped to Tasks with is_test_case__c), Sprint date applications on Tasks (Start Date and Due Date), Comments, Attachments (in batches under 100MB per file, with oversized files flagged), and Wiki pages (Goals or Project Descriptions with Word export for wide-table pages). Automation rules and Pipeline configurations are not imported; they are documented in the inventory delivered at cutover.
Cutover, automation inventory handoff, and hypercare
We freeze ONES writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then enable Asana as the system of record. We deliver the automation and pipeline inventory document listing every ONES Automation Rule and Pipeline Configuration with its trigger, conditions, actions, and a recommended Asana Rules or CI/CD rebuild approach. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any record-count discrepancies, attachment failures, or field-mapping issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild ONES Automation Rules as Asana Rules or reconfigure CI/CD pipelines within the migration scope; that work requires a separate engagement or internal admin effort.
