Planmoor

Switch from Trello

Move a board from Trello to Planmoor

Export the board as JSON, upload it, and Planmoor turns lists into phases, cards into tasks and checklist items into subtasks. Then you get the Gantt, the critical path and a client portal Trello never had.

14-day free Pro trial, no card needed. Clients are always free.

Four steps

  1. 1

    Export the board from Trello

    Open the board menu, choose Print, export and share, then Export as JSON. JSON keeps checklists and members; CSV also works on paid Trello plans.
  2. 2

    Open Import a project in Planmoor

    Sign in, choose Import a project from the dashboard, and upload the file. Planmoor recognises a Trello export by its filename and structure.
  3. 3

    Check the preview

    See the phases (from lists), the cards as tasks, checklist items as subtasks, and which members match people in your workspace.
  4. 4

    Create the project

    Name the project, set the client and dates, choose whether cards in done lists are marked done, and create it.

How Trello maps to Planmoor

  • Lists become phases
  • Cards become tasks with their due date, members and description
  • Checklist items become subtasks
  • Labels become tags
  • Members are matched by email where Trello includes it; the rest can be invited in one click

After the import

A Trello board is a list of things to do; a Planmoor project is a plan with dates. After importing, drag the bars on the Gantt to set durations, add dependencies between phases, and turn the key cards into milestones. Then send the client portal link.

Switch in one step

Export your Trello project, upload the file, and Planmoor rebuilds it as phases, tasks, dependencies, people and dates. Coming off a paid tool? Your first three months of Agency are free.

Questions people ask

Should I use JSON or CSV?
JSON. It is available on every Trello plan and includes checklists, labels and members. CSV export needs a paid Trello plan and carries less.
Trello has no dates on most cards. What happens?
Cards without a due date are placed inside their phase in list order, so you can drag them into shape on the Gantt afterwards.
Do labels come across?
Yes, as tags on each task.
