Migration Steps

1

Audit and export your current workspace

Before touching Miro, document what lives in Asana: tasks and sections, custom fields, automations, integrations, and team permissions. Export a full CSV backup — most tools support this from Settings → Export. Pay particular attention to any custom fields and workflow automations that your team relies on daily.

2

Set up your Miro workspace

Create your Miro workspace and replicate your project structure using tasks and projects. Start with the free tier — it covers the core workflow before you commit to a paid plan. Run with a single pilot team before migrating everyone.

3

Map your workflow equivalents

Find the closest Miro equivalent for each Asana feature your team relies on. tasks and sections in Asana maps to tasks and projects in Miro. Prioritise the critical path: task creation, status tracking, and assignment.

4

Import your data

Miro supports CSV import for tasks and projects and has 20+ native integrations. For automations that don't have a native equivalent in Miro, Zapier or Make can bridge the gap. Start with your most active project rather than importing everything at once.

5

Onboard your team

Run a 30-minute walkthrough covering the daily workflow: how to create tasks and projects, update status, and find your board. Miro has a gentle learning curve — most PMs are fully productive within 1–2 days. Focus the session on the UI differences rather than feature training.

6

Run Asana in parallel for two weeks

Keep Asana read-only while your team works primarily in Miro. 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 Asana, archive the workspace and make Miro the official home.
