Migrating from Wrike to Miro
Miro fits startup and scaleup teams best and has a easy learning curve. If you're moving from Wrike, the first week is the hardest — new UI, different terminology, rebuilt automations. This guide compresses that learning curve with a step-by-step migration plan.

Migration Steps
Audit and export your current workspace
Before touching Miro, document what lives in Wrike: 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 custom fields and workflow automations that your team relies on daily.
Set up your Miro workspace
Create your Miro workspace and replicate your project structure using tasks and projects. Miro starts at $8/user/mo/user/mo with a free tier available — $1.8000000000000007/user/mo less than your current Wrike spend. Run with a single pilot team before migrating everyone.
Map your workflow equivalents
Find the closest Miro equivalent for each Wrike feature your team relies on. projects and tasks in Wrike maps to tasks and projects in Miro. Prioritise the critical path: task creation, status tracking, and assignment.
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.
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.
Run Wrike in parallel for two weeks
Keep Wrike 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 Wrike, archive the workspace and make Miro the official home.
