Overview
Triskell's top-down portfolio hierarchy (Portfolio → Program → Project → Task) does not map 1:1 to monday.com's flat board-and-item model. We resolve this by mapping Triskell Programs and Projects to monday.com Boards, with Tasks as Items and Sub-items within those boards. Custom fields must be enumerated per Triskell object level before migration begins; there is no single schema export. Status workflows from Triskell become monday.com columns, and we pre-build the column set on each board before records are written. Dashboards, saved reports, automations, and integration configurations do not migrate; we deliver written inventories of each so the customer's admin rebuilds them post-migration. We migrate budget and financial data as number fields, attachment file references as a documented list for manual re-upload, and user ownership as assignee assignments on Items.
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.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Triskell 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.
Triskell
Portfolio
monday Work Management
Workspace or Board Group
1:1Triskell Portfolios are the top-level container holding Programs and defining organizational strategy. We map each Portfolio to a monday.com Workspace as the highest organizational tier. Portfolio metadata (name, description, owner, creation date) migrates as Workspace properties. Portfolio-level custom fields (budget targets, strategic objectives, OKR alignment) migrate as columns on a configuration Board within the Workspace, documented separately for the customer admin to reference post-migration.
Triskell
Program
monday Work Management
Board (primary structure)
1:1Programs sit between Portfolios and Projects in Triskell's hierarchy and carry budget summaries, status rollups, and custom fields. We map each Program to a monday.com Board. The Program-to-Portfolio linkage is preserved as a Workspace association in monday.com. Program-level custom fields (business case, sponsor, investment request) migrate as Board-level columns. If the customer uses Triskell's financial summary at the Program level, those figures migrate as number columns on the Board.
Triskell
Project
monday Work Management
Board or Item Group
1:manyIn Triskell, Projects hold Tasks and carry rich custom fields, budget data, and a status workflow. We map each Project to a monday.com Board or, for simpler structures, to a Group within the parent Program Board. Project budget amounts, planned cost, actuals, and forecasts migrate as number columns. The Project's assigned status workflow from Triskell determines the column set we pre-build on the destination Board before Task import begins.
Triskell
Task
monday Work Management
Item or Sub-item
1:1Triskell Tasks sit under Projects and support assignees, due dates, priorities, effort estimates, and custom fields. We map Tasks to monday.com Items within the parent Board, with Sub-items used when the Triskell Task has child tasks or detailed checklist breakdowns. Parent-project IDs are resolved to Board IDs at migration time. Task ordering and sequence fields from Triskell map to monday.com's Item position index within its group.
Triskell
Custom Fields (Portfolio, Program, Project, Task levels)
monday Work Management
Columns
lossyTriskell custom fields exist independently at each hierarchy level and must be enumerated per object type because there is no single schema export. We request a field inventory screenshot or export from each object level before migration, then build the corresponding monday.com column schema per Board. Text, number, date, and dropdown field types map directly to monday.com column types. Multi-select picklists from Triskell map to monday.com Dropdown or Tags columns. Any field discovered during migration that was not in the original inventory triggers a schema reconciliation step before affected records are written.
Triskell
Status Workflow
monday Work Management
Board Columns (Status axis)
lossyTriskell supports distinct named workflows per project type, each with its own set of status stages. We export the active workflow configuration for each project before migration, then pre-build the corresponding column set on the destination monday.com Board. Status probability percentages from Triskell do not map to monday.com natively; we document them as a reference table for the customer's admin to configure as column settings post-migration. Records with status values that do not map cleanly are held in a review queue rather than written with a default status.
Triskell
Budget and Financial Data
monday Work Management
Number Columns
1:1Triskell's real-time expense tracking, cost estimation, budget planning, and financial forecasting per project migrate as monday.com number columns. We map planned_budget, actual_cost, forecast_cost, and variance as separate number columns. Currency alignment from Triskell migrates as a text or dropdown column since monday.com does not have a native currency field type. Any currency rounding or decimal precision differences are flagged before data is written.
Triskell
User and Owner
monday Work Management
Workspace Members and Item Assignees
1:1Triskell user records and ownership assignments (Portfolio Owner, Program Manager, Project Sponsor, Task Assignee) map to monday.com Workspace Members and Item Assignee columns. We resolve owners by email match against the monday.com workspace member list. Triskell-specific ownership roles (Sponsor, SteerCo Member) that have no monday.com equivalent are documented as a Role column or as a tag on the relevant item for administrative reference post-migration.
Triskell
Risk Register and Issue Log
monday Work Management
Board or Items with Label Column
1:1Triskell Risk Registers and Issue Logs attached to Projects migrate as Items on a dedicated monday.com Board or as labeled Items within the Project Board. Risk severity and probability fields map to monday.com Dropdown or Label columns. We flag whether the destination has an existing Risk Management board and merge accordingly. Historical risk status transitions do not migrate as activity history; they are recorded as a text field on the Item.
Triskell
Attachment
monday Work Management
File reference inventory for manual re-upload
1:1Triskell attachments linked to Projects and Tasks migrate as a file reference inventory rather than as uploaded files. We extract the file name, linked object, and any accessible download URL. monday.com does not accept external file URLs during standard item creation; we document the full file list so the customer's team re-uploads attachments post-migration. If Triskell exposes a direct download endpoint via its integration layer, we attempt to migrate the file content as a monday.com File Upload column value.
Triskell
Dashboards and Saved Reports
monday Work Management
Manual rebuild inventory
1:1Triskell dashboards and saved reports are UI-layer constructs built from saved queries that are invisible to the export function. These do not migrate. We document every visible dashboard from the Triskell instance, listing each widget's metric, filter, date range, and data source as a written specification that the customer's monday.com admin uses to rebuild equivalent Board views or chart widgets post-migration.
Triskell
Automations and Workflow Rules (Triskell Adapt)
monday Work Management
monday.com Automation Recipes
1:1Triskell Adapt workflow rules and project-type automation triggers do not migrate to monday.com. The two platforms use different automation models with different trigger types, conditions, and action sets. We deliver a written inventory of every active Triskell workflow rule with its trigger, conditions, actions, and a recommended monday.com automation equivalent. The customer's monday.com admin rebuilds them as automation recipes post-migration.

Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the Triskell instance across all hierarchy levels: Portfolio count, Program count, Project count, Task volume, custom field inventory per object level, active status workflows per project type, budget and financial data presence, attachment inventory, and user/owner list. We pair this with a monday.com workspace readiness check: workspace creation, seat count confirmation against the target pricing tier, and column type availability for each migrating field type. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with record counts per object, a custom field matrix by object level, and a monday.com pricing tier recommendation based on automation and API rate-limit requirements.
Schema design and column pre-build
We design the monday.com schema before any data moves. For each Program we create a Board; for each Project we create a Board or Group depending on the customer's preferred structure. We pre-build all columns on each Board by mapping Triskell custom fields at the Project and Task levels to monday.com column types. We build the status workflow column set from Triskell's active workflow configuration, adding any missing columns to the Board before migration begins. Custom fields at the Portfolio level are documented as a separate configuration Board within the Workspace. All schema changes are made in a monday.com Sandbox or the primary workspace before production migration.
Source data extraction and transformation
We guide the customer through Triskell's native CSV export workflow for each object level (Portfolio, Program, Project, Task). We validate the resulting flat files for record completeness, column presence, and parent reference integrity. Parent-child relationships that exist in Triskell's hierarchical model but are flattened in CSV format are reconstructed using the parent ID columns present in each export. We apply custom field value normalization, status workflow mapping, and currency alignment during the transformation phase. Any export that returns incomplete data triggers a manual pull request before transformation proceeds.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a monday.com Sandbox workspace using production-like data volume. The customer's project management lead reconciles record counts (Programs in, Projects in, Tasks in, custom field values present), spot-checks 25-50 random Items against the Triskell source, and validates that column types match the expected data. Owner and assignee mapping is verified against the monday.com workspace member list. Any mapping corrections, missing columns, or status-to-column adjustments are made in this phase before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in dependency order: Workspace members validated, Boards created (one per Program), parent-child Item relationships resolved with parent Item IDs written before child Items, custom fields populated using the pre-built column schema, budget and financial data as number columns, and assignee mapping by email match. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Sub-items are written after their parent Items. We apply Triskell Task ordering as the monday.com Item position index within its group.
Cutover, validation, and rebuild handoff
We freeze Triskell write access during the cutover window, 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 (written specs for each Triskell Adapt workflow rule and recommended monday.com automation recipe equivalent), the dashboard and report rebuild specification, and the attachment file list for manual re-upload. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Triskell automations as monday.com automation recipes inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
Post-migration board tuning
Once migration is complete and the customer's team is active on monday.com, we conduct a board structure review to optimize column types, group names, and Item layout based on actual team usage patterns. This review is scoped as a two-day engagement and addresses questions that arise only after the team begins working in the new environment. We do not provide ongoing monday.com administration or training as standard scope; these are separate engagements with the customer's preferred monday.com partner or internal admin.
