Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Tability to monday.com is a goal-management platform to general work-management platform migration. Tability organizes around Objectives and Key Results with weekly check-in logs and an AI goal-writing layer; monday.com uses Boards, Groups, Items, and Columns with automation and dependency tracking. There is no direct OKR object in monday.com—we create a Board-per-Objective structure with Key Results modeled as Groups or Items depending on metric type, and we preserve check-in history as dated notes or timeline entries. Tability's CSV export does not include check-in logs or Strategy Map dependency graphs; we reconstruct check-in history from the activity log export and flag Strategy Map dependencies for manual re-linkage planning. AI-generated goal drafts do not migrate. Automations, reminders, and Slack/Teams integration settings do not migrate as code—we deliver a written inventory of every Tability automation and integration for the customer's admin to rebuild in monday.com's Automation Centre and integrations page.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Tability logo

Tability

What's pushing teams away

  • Teams outgrow the platform as OKR programs scale across departments, citing insufficient cross-team visibility and reporting depth for organizations beyond 50-100 users
  • Layout and navigation UX frustrates power users who need fast access to objectives and quick-check workflows, with multiple reviews flagging unnecessary complexity in the interface
  • The platform skews toward simple weekly check-ins rather than strategic planning, leading teams who want roadmapping and portfolio-level goal management to seek more capable alternatives
  • Limited API and automation capabilities push technically-oriented teams toward platforms with better programmatic access and custom workflow support
  • Pricing becomes less competitive at scale, especially when teams require advanced analytics, SSO, and audit capabilities available only on higher tiers

Choosing

monday Work Management logo

monday Work Management

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest onboarding friction of any mid-market PM tool — drag-and-drop boards and colorful UI mean non-technical team members contribute from day one without training.
  • Highly customizable board structure lets teams model their actual workflow rather than forcing a predefined template onto their process.
  • Generous free forever plan with two seats lets small teams or solo users validate the platform before committing budget or migrating data from elsewhere.
  • Integrations with Slack, Zoom, Google Drive, and CRM tools keep monday.com as a coordination hub rather than requiring teams to switch context constantly.
  • Multiple view modes — Kanban, Calendar, Gantt, Map, Chart — give different team members the visualization they prefer without switching tools.

Object mapping

How Tability objects map to monday Work Management

Each row shows how a Tability 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.

Tability

Objective

maps to

monday Work Management

Board

1:1
Fully supported

Tability Objectives map to monday.com Boards. We create the Board with the Objective title as Board name, description in the Board welcome column, owner mapped to a Board subscriber, and start/end dates set via timeline column configuration. Each Board is created before any Items are imported so that group and item dependencies resolve correctly. For organizations using Tability's parent-child objective hierarchy, parent Objectives become top-level Boards and child Objectives become Groups within the parent Board.

Tability

Key Result

maps to

monday Work Management

Group or Item

lossy
Fully supported

Key Results map to monday.com Groups or Items depending on metric type. Numeric, percentage, currency, and binary Key Results migrate as Groups containing Items where each Item represents a measurement update (current value vs target value). Progress percentage is stored in a number column, target in a separate number column, and the metric unit label as a text column. On monday.com Pro and Enterprise, the dependency column can link Key Result Groups to the parent Objective Board for cross-board alignment visibility.

Tability

Task

maps to

monday Work Management

Item

1:1
Fully supported

Tability Tasks connected to Objectives migrate as monday.com Items. We map assignee to the People column, due date to the Date column, status to the Status column (with Tability's open/in-progress/complete states mapped to monday.com's default or custom status values), and description to the Text column. If Tasks have a direct Key Result linkage, we set the Item's Group assignment to match the Key Result Group.

Tability

Check-in

maps to

monday Work Management

Update or Item Note

1:1
Fully supported

Tability check-ins are timestamped progress updates with author and note content. The CSV export does not include check-in history. We export the activity log separately and reconstruct check-in entries as monday.com Updates on the corresponding Board or Item (using the Update API), preserving date, author, note text, and the updated progress value. If the activity log is inaccessible on the customer's Tability tier, we flag this gap and recommend the customer export a screenshot archive of key check-in periods before cutover.

Tability

Strategy Map

maps to

monday Work Management

Dependency Column

1:1
Mapping required

The cross-team dependency graph in Tability's Strategy Map has no structured export format. We extract a best-effort adjacency list by querying linked Objectives manually from the UI. For organizations with more than 20 cross-linked Objectives, we flag this as a manual re-linkage scope. On monday.com Pro and Enterprise, we configure the Dependency column on the relevant Boards and deliver a written dependency map listing every Objective pair and its dependency direction for the customer's admin to re-link manually post-migration.

Tability

User and Owner

maps to

monday Work Management

User (People column)

1:1
Fully supported

Tability user records carry name and email. We match by email to the monday.com workspace User directory. Owners assigned to Objectives or Key Results map to the People column on the Board or Item. Users without a matching monday.com account are flagged as ghost owners and held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before the migration resumes. Active versus inactive status is preserved in a text column for admin review.

Tability

Custom Properties (Objective)

maps to

monday Work Management

Custom Columns

lossy
Fully supported

Tability allows custom fields on Objectives. We export them as name-value pairs and create monday.com columns of the matching type (text, number, date, dropdown). Type coercion is applied where Tability stores a numeric value in a text field; we create a number column in monday.com and flag any value that fails validation for manual correction.

Tability

Custom Properties (Key Result)

maps to

monday Work Management

Custom Columns

lossy
Fully supported

Tability Key Result custom fields map to monday.com columns on the Group or Item representing the Key Result. Metric type configurations (number, percentage, currency, binary) are preserved as separate configuration columns alongside the custom fields. Tability's metric type selector does not have a direct monday.com equivalent; we document the metric type as a text column label and advise the customer to use the relevant column type for the metric values themselves.

Tability

Tag and Label

maps to

monday Work Management

Tags or Label Column

lossy
Fully supported

Tability tags applied to Objectives and Key Results are exported as a string array. On monday.com Standard and above, we map them to the native Tags feature on Boards. On Basic tier (which has no Tags), we attach them as a comma-separated text value in a custom label column. The customer chooses tag strategy during scoping based on their monday.com plan tier.

Tability

Integrations (Slack, Teams, Jira, Asana)

maps to

monday Work Management

Documented for rebuild

1:1
Fully supported

Tability integration configurations (Slack delivery, Teams check-in prompts, Jira linkage, Asana sync) are destination-side settings that do not carry over as migration data. We document each active integration with its trigger conditions and delivery target so the customer's admin can re-configure equivalent automations in monday.com's Automation Centre or re-establish native integrations from the Integrations page post-migration.

Tability

AI Goal Recommendations

maps to

monday Work Management

Not migratable

1:1
Not supported

Tability's AI-generated goal drafts exist within the platform's AI feature layer and are not stored as structured database records. They cannot be exported or migrated to any destination platform. We document this boundary upfront so customers do not expect their AI-generated draft library to carry over. monday.com's own AI capabilities or third-party OKR integrations (such as Apero, Koan, or Perdoo connectors) regenerate recommendations post-migration.

Tability

Dashboard

maps to

monday Work Management

Documented for rebuild

1:1
Fully supported

Tability dashboards are saved view configurations with chart layouts and filter state. These are UI-level constructs with no semantic data content. We do not migrate dashboard layouts. We deliver a written inventory of each dashboard's chart type, metric, and filter configuration so the customer's admin can rebuild equivalent views using monday.com's Chart View and Dashboard widgets post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Check-in history is not included in Tability's standard CSV export

    The CSV export from Tability captures current progress values and status on Objectives and Key Results but drops the full check-in log—the timestamped trail of progress updates with author notes and historical progress values. We reconstruct check-in history by exporting the activity log separately and merging it with the CSV export by Objective and Key Result ID. If the activity log is not accessible on the customer's Tability tier, we flag the gap and advise the customer to screenshot key check-in periods before cutover. Without this step, progress history is lost and only the most recent state migrates.

  • Tability has no documented public API for bulk data extraction

    Tability does not publish a REST API with bulk read endpoints. Migration relies entirely on the built-in CSV export, which has column and row limits that may truncate large workspaces. We work around this by exporting in multiple batches organized by team or time period and reconstructing the full dataset. Customers with more than 500 Objectives or 2,000 Key Results should request a pre-export data audit to confirm all records fit within export limits, or accept that large workspaces may require multiple manual export sessions.

  • OKR structure maps to monday.com Boards with no native OKR object

    monday.com has no native Objectives and Key Results object type. We model Tability's OKR hierarchy as Board-per-Objective with Groups or Items representing Key Results, but monday.com does not have built-in progress rollup, check-in workflows, or OKR-specific reporting. Teams expecting Tability's OKR-native experience must configure progress tracking manually using number columns, formula columns, and chart views. We deliver a written configuration guide for OKR-style progress tracking in monday.com as part of the migration handoff.

  • Strategy Map dependency graph has no structured export format

    Tability's Strategy Map cross-team alignment visualization is a UI-level construct. There is no export of the dependency graph as structured data. We extract a best-effort adjacency list by querying each Objective's linked dependencies manually from the UI, but this is fragile for organizations with more than 20 cross-linked Objectives. For large dependency graphs, we flag the scope for manual re-linkage planning and deliver a written dependency map listing every Objective pair with its dependency direction for the customer to re-link in monday.com's Dependency column post-migration.

  • monday.com automations and Tability reminders do not migrate as code

    Tability's weekly check-in reminders, Slack and Teams delivery settings, and digest automations are platform-specific configurations that do not carry over. monday.com's Automation Centre uses a different recipe model with different trigger types, conditions, and actions. We document every active Tability automation and integration with its trigger and delivery configuration and deliver a written automation inventory with recommended monday.com Automation Centre equivalents. The customer's admin rebuilds these manually post-migration. We do not rebuild automations as code within the migration scope.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Tability to monday Work Management data migration

  1. Discovery and data audit

    We audit the source Tability workspace across plan tier, workspace structure (teams and programs), total Objectives, total Key Results, check-in volume, Strategy Map dependency count, active integrations, and user seat count. We confirm whether the activity log is accessible for check-in history export and identify any custom properties on Objectives and Key Results. We also confirm the destination monday.com plan tier (Basic, Standard, Pro, or Enterprise) because Tags, Dependency columns, and Automation Centre access are tier-gated.

  2. Schema design and OKR-to-board mapping plan

    We design the monday.com destination schema. Each Tability Objective becomes a Board with the Objective title as Board name, description in the welcome column, owner as Board subscriber, and dates as timeline columns. Each Key Result becomes a Group or Item depending on metric type. We configure custom columns to match Tability custom fields, apply type coercion where needed, and design the dependency linkage plan for cross-Board dependencies. This schema is reviewed and approved by the customer before any data moves.

  3. Data export and check-in history reconstruction

    We execute the Tability CSV export in batches organized by team and program. For each batch, we export the activity log separately and merge it with the CSV records by Objective and Key Result ID to reconstruct the check-in timeline. We extract a best-effort Strategy Map dependency adjacency list from the UI for organizations with cross-linked Objectives. All exported data is validated against the Tability workspace record counts before transformation begins.

  4. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a monday.com Sandbox Board or test workspace using production-like data volume. The customer's project lead reconciles record counts (Boards in, Groups in, Items in), spot-checks 20-30 records against the Tability source, and validates that custom field values, owner assignments, and check-in history entries transferred correctly. Any mapping corrections happen in the sandbox, not in production. Owner reconciliation (matching Tability users to monday.com workspace members) is validated at this stage.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: workspace members and owners (validated), Boards (Objectives), Groups and Items (Key Results and Tasks), check-in history reconstructed as Updates, custom properties as columns, tags as Labels or text columns, and Strategy Map dependencies documented for manual re-linkage. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. monday.com's GraphQL API rate limits (10M complexity units per minute) are managed with batching and exponential backoff.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff

    We freeze Tability 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 inventory document listing every Tability weekly reminder, Slack/Teams delivery setting, and integration with its trigger and recommended monday.com Automation Centre equivalent. We support a five-business-day hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Tability automations in monday.com as part of the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's admin post-migration.

Strengths

  • Weekly automated check-in reminders reduce manager overhead and keep OKR conversations flowing without dedicated follow-up
  • AI goal generation speeds up the goal-writing process for teams new to OKR methodology
  • Multiple view modes (list, Kanban, dashboard, Strategy Map) accommodate different roles from contributor to executive
  • Native Microsoft Teams integration makes Tability accessible within the Microsoft 365 environment where many enterprise teams already live
  • Strategy Map provides visual cross-team alignment without requiring complex manual linking of objectives

Weaknesses

  • Limited API surface means programmatic migration and automation require workarounds or manual export/import steps
  • Reporting and dashboard capabilities are basic compared to enterprise OKR platforms, with users reporting insufficient visibility at scale
  • Layout and navigation UX receives consistent criticism in user reviews, particularly for power users who interact with the tool frequently
  • No native time-tracking or resource-planning features, making it unsuitable for teams that want OKRs embedded within broader project delivery
  • Custom field and object extensibility is minimal, constraining organizations that need to model domain-specific Key Result types

Strengths

  • Drag-and-drop board UI with near-zero learning curve for non-technical users entering project data for the first time.
  • 20+ column types and unlimited custom columns let teams model arbitrarily complex data structures without developer help.
  • Multi-view support — Kanban, Gantt, Calendar, Timeline, Chart, Map — satisfies different team members without forcing a single layout.
  • Automations cover common trigger-action patterns for teams without dedicated developers to write custom scripts.
  • Free plan for 2 seats and a 14-day trial on all paid tiers make evaluation risk-free before committing to migration scope.

Weaknesses

  • Per-seat pricing with no enterprise flat-rate option means costs scale linearly with headcount, making it expensive at 50+ seats.
  • Subitems lack bulk API access, making them problematic for CRM-style use cases where contact records live as subitems under a company board.
  • Automations and advanced views are gated behind Pro and Enterprise tiers, creating feature deserts on entry-level plans.
  • Dependency column is visually limited — no critical path, no auto-rescheduling, and cross-board dependencies require manual link management.
  • No native document management; docs, wikis, and knowledge bases require a separate integration or third-party workaround.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for workspaces under 200 Objectives and 600 Key Results with accessible activity logs. Migrations with large check-in histories (over 5,000 entries), Strategy Map dependency graphs exceeding 20 linked Objectives, or multiple Tability teams requiring separate monday.com workspaces move to six to ten weeks because of activity log reconstruction, dependency adjacency extraction, and multi-workspace configuration.
