Overview
Moving from ONES.com to monday.com is a schema-translation migration, not a direct record copy. ONES.com organizes work around Projects containing Tasks with optional subtask nesting, Requirements that link to downstream Tasks and TestCases, and time-boxed Sprints that group tasks. monday.com uses a Workspace-to-Board-to-Group-to-Item hierarchy where subitems (up to 100 per item) replace ONES subtasks, and Groups replace Sprint groupings. We resolve this structural mismatch by mapping ONES Projects to monday.com Workspaces, ONES Tasks to monday.com Items with subitems for nested subtasks, ONES Sprints to named Groups with date-based naming conventions, and ONES Requirements and TestCases to Items with checklist formatting since monday.com has no native test management object. Automation rules and CI/CD pipeline configurations in ONES Build do not migrate; we deliver written inventories for the customer's team to rebuild.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a ONES.com 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.
ONES.com
Project
monday Work Management
Workspace + Board
lossyONES Projects are the top-level container in ONES Project and organize Tasks, Requirements, Sprints, and Bugs. We map each ONES Project to a monday.com Workspace, then create one or more Boards within that Workspace based on the ONES Project's internal structure. If the ONES Project uses multiple task boards (e.g., a Kanban board and a backlog board), we replicate that structure in monday.com with separate Boards under the same Workspace. Project templates (Scrum, Kanban, general task) inform the Board template we select during board creation.
ONES.com
Task
monday Work Management
Item + Subitem
1:1ONES Tasks map to monday.com Items. The task title becomes the Item name, description migrates as the Item body, assignees map by email to monday.com Board members, and status workflows map to monday.com Status columns. ONES subtasks map to monday.com Subitems (up to 100 per Item). We preserve the parent-child hierarchy by creating Subitems under the parent Item and mapping any subtask assignees and due dates. Status values in ONES (e.g., Open, In Progress, Resolved) map to the monday.com Board's Status column options.
ONES.com
Sprint
monday Work Management
Group (naming convention)
lossyONES Sprints are time-boxed iterations with start dates, end dates, goals, and a set of assigned Tasks. monday.com has no native Sprint object, so we map Sprints to monday.com Groups using a naming convention that encodes sprint metadata: [Sprint Name] | [Start Date] - [End Date]. Sprint goal descriptions are stored as Group description text. Tasks are assigned to the appropriate Sprint Group during migration. Sprint velocity and burndown data from ONES do not migrate as metrics but can be reconstructed in monday.com Dashboards using the migrated Item dates.
ONES.com
Bug
monday Work Management
Item (Bug board)
1:1ONES Bugs are specialized work items with severity, steps to reproduce, and environment fields. We map Bugs to Items on a dedicated monday.com Board. ONES Bug severity levels map to a monday.com Severity dropdown or label column. Steps to reproduce and environment details map to long-text Item columns. Linked Tasks or Requirements in ONES Bug records become Subitem or Related Items links in monday.com. If the customer uses a separate Bug board in ONES, we replicate that as a dedicated monday.com Board with appropriate columns.
ONES.com
Requirement
monday Work Management
Item (Requirements board)
1:manyONES Requirements are specification documents linked to Tasks and TestCases for end-to-end traceability. monday.com has no native Requirements object, so we map Requirements to Items on a dedicated monday.com Board. The linked Task relationships become Related Items links in monday.com. The linked TestCase relationships require the TestCase to exist in monday.com first (see TestCase mapping), and we resolve the relationship at migration time. Requirements without downstream links migrate as standalone Items with the requirement text in the description column.
ONES.com
TestCase
monday Work Management
Item with Checklist columns
lossyONES TestCases contain test steps, expected results, and pass/fail history. monday.com has no native test management object, so we map TestCases to Items with formatted text columns for the test steps and expected results, and a Status column for the last-known test outcome. If the customer requires a structured test-step format, we use a multi-checklist or linked Subitem per test step approach. TestCase-to-Requirement linkage maps to monday.com Related Items. TestCase-to-Build linkage is noted as a data point to recreate in the customer's chosen CI/CD platform post-migration.
ONES.com
Wiki Page
monday Work Management
monday.com Docs
1:1ONES Wiki pages contain team documentation with rich text, images, and tables. We map Wiki pages to monday.com Docs, which support rich text, images, and embedded Items. We flag wide-table Wiki pages (tables exceeding approximately 720px width) during audit and recommend exporting those as Docs rather than HTML since ONES PDF export silently truncates wide tables. Page tree hierarchy in ONES Wiki maps to a Docs folder structure in monday.com.
ONES.com
User / Member
monday Work Management
monday.com User
1:1Project members in ONES (with roles and permissions) map to monday.com Board members by email match. ONES User profiles include name, email, and avatar. We resolve every ONES user referenced on Tasks, Bugs, Requirements, and TestCases to a monday.com User account by email. Any ONES user without a matching monday.com account is placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. User roles (Admin, Member, Viewer) map to monday.com Workspace permission levels.
ONES.com
Custom Field
monday Work Management
monday.com Column
lossyONES Project supports custom fields on Tasks, Bugs, and Requirements, with types including text, number, date, dropdown, and user references. monday.com Boards support custom columns including Text, Numbers, Date, Dropdown, Status, Labels, Link, and Formula. We map each ONES custom field type to the closest monday.com column type. Dropdown fields in ONES map to monday.com Dropdown columns with the same option values. Date fields map directly. Multi-user reference fields in ONES map to People columns in monday.com. Custom field definitions and their current values are migrated together as column schema and column values.
ONES.com
Attachment
monday Work Management
Item File Column
1:1Attachments on ONES Tasks, Bugs, and Wiki pages are stored and served by ONES storage. We migrate attachments by downloading from ONES storage and re-uploading to the monday.com Board's file column for the corresponding Item. We flag any attachment exceeding monday.com's 250MB per-file limit during audit and flag for the customer's admin to handle as a manual step or alternative storage (Google Drive, S3) with a link embedded in the Item. Attachment filenames and descriptions migrate alongside the file reference.
ONES.com
Time Tracking
monday Work Management
Numbers Column
1:1ONES Tasks support time tracking with logged hours and estimated vs. actual time. monday.com does not have a native time tracking object, so we map ONES time tracking data to Numbers columns (Estimated Hours, Logged Hours) on the corresponding Item. If the customer requires time tracking features post-migration, we note monday.com's native time tracking or a third-party integration (Toggl, Harvest) as a separate configuration step.
ONES.com
Automation Rules
monday Work Management
Not Migrated
1:1Automation rules in ONES Project (triggers such as task status changes, assignees, and due date notifications, with resulting actions) are not exposed via any documented migration API. We do not attempt to migrate automation rules. During discovery, we identify all active automation rules and deliver a written inventory with each rule's trigger, conditions, actions, and a recommended monday.com Automations equivalent. The customer's team rebuilds these in monday.com's Automations Center post-migration. This is the highest-severity gotcha for teams that rely heavily on ONES automation logic.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and source audit
We audit the ONES.com account across all active Projects, counting open and historical Tasks, Bug records, Requirements, TestCases, Sprint definitions, and Wiki page trees. We identify every active automation rule and CI/CD pipeline in ONES Build for the inventory deliverables. We map custom field definitions per Project to build the monday.com Column schema translation plan. The discovery output is a written migration scope that classifies every ONES object as fully migratable, configuration-required, or no-destination-equivalent.
Schema design and board architecture
We design the monday.com destination structure: one Workspace per ONES Project, one or more Boards per ONES task board or Bug board, and a dedicated Board for Requirements and TestCases. We define the Column schema (Status, Dropdown, Numbers, Date, People) mapped from ONES custom fields and work item types. We define the Sprint-to-Group naming convention and document it for the customer. Schema is validated in a monday.com test Workspace before production migration begins.
User reconciliation and workspace provisioning
We extract every distinct ONES user referenced on Tasks, Bugs, Requirements, and TestCases and match by email against the monday.com destination account's User table. Users without a matching monday.com account are placed in a reconciliation queue. The customer's monday.com admin provisions missing users and assigns them to the relevant Workspaces. Migration cannot proceed past this step because Item assignees require valid monday.com User references.
Pilot migration and reconciliation
We run a full pilot migration of a single ONES Project into a monday.com test Workspace using production-like data volume. We reconcile record counts (Tasks in, Items in, Subitems in, Bugs in, Requirements in), spot-check 25-50 random Items against the ONES source (title, description, assignees, status, due dates), and verify the Sprint-to-Group naming convention. Any mapping corrections happen here. The customer signs off on the pilot before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (manual provisioning validated), Workspaces and Boards (schema deployed), Items from ONES Tasks and Bugs (with Subitems for nested subtasks), Groups (with Sprint naming convention applied), Requirements Items (linked after Task Items exist), TestCase Items (linked after Requirement Items exist), custom field column values, attachments (downloaded from ONES and uploaded to monday.com), and Wiki pages to monday.com Docs. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, delta migration, and automation handoff
We freeze ONES writes 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 rules inventory and the CI/CD pipeline flag document to the customer's team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild ONES automation rules as monday.com Automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate configuration engagement.
