Migrate your Planview AgilePlace data
Enterprise Kanban platform for scaling Lean and Agile delivery across multiple teams, originally Planview LeanKit, now part of Planview's work management suite.
In its favor
Why people choose Planview AgilePlace
The signal that keeps Planview AgilePlace on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Scales Kanban visibility beyond single teams to programs and value streams, giving enterprise PMOs a unified view of delivery across hundreds of boards without sacrificing team autonomy.
Unlimited boards on every paid tier means large organizations do not face board-count limits as they expand agile practices across divisions, unlike per-project licensing models in competing tools.
Native integrations with Jira, GitHub, Visual Studio, and Oracle Primavera Cloud reduce friction for DevOps and Engineering teams already invested in those ecosystems.
Planview's portfolio-level context connects team-level Kanban cards to strategic objectives, a gap that generic Kanban tools like Trello or Asana do not address out of the box.
30-day free trial with no credit card required allows enterprises to validate fit for complex, multi-team deployments before committing to a contract.
The interface and visual design feel dated compared to modern alternatives, with users noting that newer competitors offer a more contemporary experience for day-to-day team members.
Kanban-only view limits adoption for teams that need Gantt charts, calendar views, or structured task lists — organizations with mixed methodology needs often must supplement AgilePlace with another tool.
Reporting requires the Advanced or Enterprise tier via a separate Reporting API, adding cost for organizations that need cross-board analytics rather than board-local charts.
Performance degrades when organizations run large numbers of boards or high card volumes, with community posts and reviews noting sluggish load times under heavy data conditions.
Portfolios integration depends on Planview Hub, a separate licensed product, meaning portfolio-level visibility is not included in AgilePlace pricing and adds a second procurement conversation.

What gets migrated
Planview AgilePlace object support
Object-by-object support for Planview AgilePlace migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Boards
Fully supportedBoards are the top-level container in AgilePlace. We export board structure including Lanes and Swimlanes as a first-pass import, mapping each Lane to its destination equivalent or creating a flat task list if the destination lacks board semantics.
Cards
Fully supportedCards represent work items. We migrate Card title, description (rich text), type, priority, WIP status, due dates, created/modified timestamps, and board position. Card body content is preserved as-is.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom Fields exist per-board and are defined at the board level. We must export their definitions alongside card data and map values to the destination's custom field system. Role-based permission restrictions on custom fields require explicit scoping before import.
Card Types
Mapping requiredCard Types are board-level taxonomy. If the destination uses a flat task object, we map each Card Type to a label or tag. If custom types are supported, we recreate the type definitions in the destination before card import.
Card Dependencies
Mapping requiredParent-child card links are stored as a separate API relationship. We export these as a dependency table and recreate them in the destination after all cards are loaded, matching by temporary ID mapping.
Comments
Fully supportedCard comments are migrated as threaded discussion entries on the destination task. Author attribution is preserved via email-to-user matching.
Tasks (Sub-tasks)
Fully supportedAgilePlace Tasks are child items within a Card. We import them as sub-tasks in the destination, preserving completion status and assignee.
Tags
Mapping requiredTags in AgilePlace are flat string labels on cards. We map these to the destination's tag or label system. If the destination has no tag support, we store tags as a comma-separated custom field.
Users and Assignees
Mapping requiredCard assignee mapping is done by email address. Inactive or archived users in AgilePlace require fallback handling by username or explicit orphan-flagging for customer review.
WIP Limits
Mapping requiredWIP limits are defined per Lane on a board. We flag these as custom metadata in the destination or map to an equivalent WIP field if the destination supports it natively.
Card Attachments
Mapping requiredFile attachments on cards are downloaded and re-uploaded to the destination's document store. Large attachment volumes increase migration duration and require storage capacity planning.
Integrations Metadata
Not in this platformIntegration references to Jira issues, GitHub commits, or external URLs are stored as card metadata but the linked external records do not migrate. We log these references as notes in the destination record.
