Migration Steps
Audit and export your current workspace
Before touching Monday.com, document what lives in Confluence: 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 Monday.com workspace
Create your Monday.com workspace and replicate your project structure using items and boards. Monday.com starts at $12/user/mo/user/mo with a free tier available — budget $5.95/user/mo more per user. Run with a single pilot team before migrating everyone.
Map your workflow equivalents
Find the closest Monday.com equivalent for each Confluence feature your team relies on. projects and tasks in Confluence maps to items and boards in Monday.com. Monday.com supports custom fields — recreate your Confluence field schema here first. Gantt-style timeline views are available if your team used them in Confluence. Prioritise the critical path: task creation, status tracking, and assignment.
Import your data
Monday.com supports CSV import for tasks and projects and has 20+ native integrations. After importing, rebuild your key automations — Monday.com's automation engine can replicate most rules you had in Confluence. 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 items and boards, 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 Confluence in parallel for two weeks
Keep Confluence read-only while your team works primarily in Monday.com. 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 Confluence, archive the workspace and make Monday.com the official home.
