Migrating from Miro to ClickUp
ClickUp and Miro both handle project management and task management, but they differ on pricing — Miro comes in $2/user/mo/user/mo lower. This guide covers how to move your team across without losing data, context, or momentum.

Migration Steps
Audit and export your current workspace
Before touching ClickUp, document what lives in Miro: projects and tasks, custom fields, automations, integrations, and team permissions. Export a full CSV backup — most tools support this from Settings → Export. Pay particular attention to any workflow automations that your team relies on daily.
Set up your ClickUp workspace
Create your ClickUp workspace and replicate your project structure using epics, stories, and sprints. ClickUp starts at $10/user/mo/user/mo with a free tier available — budget $2/user/mo more per user. Run with a single pilot team before migrating everyone.
Map your workflow equivalents
Find the closest ClickUp equivalent for each Miro feature your team relies on. projects and tasks in Miro maps to epics, stories, and sprints in ClickUp. ClickUp supports custom fields — recreate your Miro field schema here first. Gantt-style timeline views are available if your team used them in Miro. Prioritise the critical path: task creation, status tracking, and assignment.
Import your data
ClickUp supports CSV import for tasks and projects and has 20+ native integrations. After importing, rebuild your key automations — ClickUp's automation engine can replicate most rules you had in Miro. Start with your most active project rather than importing everything at once.
Onboard your team
Run a 30-minute walkthrough covering the daily workflow: how to create epics, stories, and sprints, update status, and find your board. Expect a moderate ramp — most engineers and PMs hit their stride within a week. The biggest adjustment is usually the sprint ceremony workflow.
Run Miro in parallel for two weeks
Keep Miro read-only while your team works primarily in ClickUp. This reduces risk and lets people reference historical context — old decisions, archived tickets, past sprint data — without slowing the migration. After two weeks with no new work going into Miro, archive the workspace and make ClickUp the official home.
