Migrate your TeamWork Live data
Web-based project management and collaboration tool for small to mid-sized teams managing tasks, milestones, and client-facing projects via a REST API.
In its favor
Why people choose TeamWork Live
The signal that keeps TeamWork Live on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Clients appreciate the all-in-one workspace combining task management, file sharing, and client collaboration without requiring separate tools.
Teams with complex project hierarchies find the project-and-task-list structure maps naturally to agency or consulting workflows.
The REST API enables programmatic access to projects, tasks, and time entries for custom integrations and reporting pipelines.
Organizations on a budget choose TeamWork Live for the lower price point compared to enterprise PSA platforms.
Small professional services teams find the per-seat pricing model straightforward to budget and scale as headcount grows.
The user interface is described as dated and clunky, with slower loading times compared to modern PM tools.
Task visibility and change-tracking are weaker than competing platforms, making it harder to keep teams aligned on updates.
Steep onboarding and learning curve frustrate new users who expect a more intuitive initial experience.
Limited reporting depth and integration options restrict the platform's usefulness for data-driven organizations.
Teams outgrow the feature set and migrate to tools like Smartsheet, Asana, or Monday for more flexible automation and views.

What gets migrated
TeamWork Live object support
Object-by-object support for TeamWork Live migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Projects
Fully supportedProjects are the top-level container in TeamWork Live. We migrate all project metadata including name, description, status, start/due dates, and client linkage. The API exposes project-level custom fields and project-level permission settings that we preserve at import.
Tasks
Fully supportedTasks are the core work unit with standard fields: title, description, status, priority, assignee, due date, and estimated time. We map all standard fields and handle task-level custom fields (text, number, dropdown) as name-value pairs during migration.
Milestones
Fully supportedMilestones are standalone date-driven markers linked to projects. We preserve the milestone name, target date, and project association. Milestones that have completion dates are flagged separately so they can be restored correctly in the destination system.
Task Lists
Mapping requiredTask Lists group tasks within a project. We map the list name and the ordered sequence of tasks within it, but ordering is not always preserved as a first-class attribute via the API and may require reordering in the destination.
Users and Team Members
Fully supportedUsers are the core identity object with name, email, role, and active/inactive status. We migrate user records as-is. Guest or client-level users are stored with the same object type but a distinct permission scope that we preserve separately.
Time Entries
Mapping requiredTime entries in TeamWork Live are linked to tasks and include hours logged, date, and optional notes. We map the time entry payload but billable/non-billable flags and hourly rate overrides require destination-specific field mapping.
Comments
Mapping requiredComments are attached to tasks and projects. The API returns comment text, author, and timestamp. Rich-text formatting may not round-trip cleanly; we flag any HTML-heavy comments for manual review post-migration.
Files and Attachments
Mapping requiredFiles attached to tasks or projects are referenced by URL in the API. We retrieve attachment metadata and re-upload files to the destination or generate signed download links for the migration package. Files with broken source URLs cannot be recovered.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields exist at both project and task levels. TeamWork Live supports text, number, and dropdown types. We map custom field definitions and values, but dropdown option lists must be recreated in the destination before data can be loaded.
Companies and Clients
Mapping requiredClient companies can be linked to projects for access control and billing tracking. We preserve the company name and contact details but project-level client permissions require manual verification post-migration.
Tags and Labels
Mapping requiredTags applied to tasks or projects are stored as simple string arrays. We migrate tags as-is but destination systems with reserved or restricted tag names may require renaming.
