Migration Steps
Audit and export your current workspace
Before touching Wrike, document what lives in Figma: 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 Wrike workspace
Create your Wrike workspace and replicate your project structure using tasks and projects. Wrike starts at $9.8/user/mo/user/mo with a free tier available — $5.199999999999999/user/mo less than your current Figma spend. Run with a single pilot team before migrating everyone.
Map your workflow equivalents
Find the closest Wrike equivalent for each Figma feature your team relies on. projects and tasks in Figma maps to tasks and projects in Wrike. Wrike supports custom fields — recreate your Figma field schema here first. Gantt-style timeline views are available if your team used them in Figma. Prioritise the critical path: task creation, status tracking, and assignment.
Import your data
Wrike supports CSV import for tasks and projects and has 20+ native integrations. After importing, rebuild your key automations — Wrike's automation engine can replicate most rules you had in Figma. 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. Expect a moderate ramp — most engineers and PMs hit their stride within a week. The biggest adjustment is usually the project hierarchy.
Run Figma in parallel for two weeks
Keep Figma read-only while your team works primarily in Wrike. 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 Figma, archive the workspace and make Wrike the official home.
