Migration check
| Question | What the vendor documents | Official doc |
|---|---|---|
| Can I export from Asana? | Asana exports a project to JSON or CSV from Export/Print; a full organization export is JSON only and needs an admin. | Asana help: export project data |
| Can I import into ClickUp? | ClickUp has a native Asana importer: sign in with Asana, pick projects, map people. Imports take from 1 minute to a few hours. | ClickUp help: import from Asana |
| Not moved | ClickUp lists what the importer skips: freestanding tasks, nested subtasks, @mentions, recurring tasks and private tasks. | — |

Steps (hand-written from the docs above)
- Export each Asana project to CSV (or JSON for the archive) from Export/Print.
- In ClickUp, run the Asana importer and sign in with the Asana account that owns the projects.
- Map each Asana project to a ClickUp Space, Folder or List and match people by email.
- Check the skipped items (freestanding tasks, nested subtasks, recurring tasks) and re-create the ones that matter.
- Rebuild Asana rules and integrations in ClickUp, then invite the team.
Effort score
| Factor | Score (1 easy, 5 hard) | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Export | 2 / 5 | Based on the export documentation linked above (limits, add-ons, who must enable it). |
| Import | 1 / 5 | Based on the destination vendor's import documentation linked above (first-party tool vs scripting, what is not imported). |
| Permissions | 2 / 5 | Users, roles and groups usually need to be created and mapped by hand before data can land. |
| Integrations | 3 / 5 | Email forwarding, forms, plugins and API keys all have to be re-pointed; default score unless the vendors document a connector. |
| Training | 2 / 5 | Similar concepts with new menus. |
Total 10 / 25 → 4–9 days for up to 15 seats (×1.5 for 16–50, ×2 above). This is our judgment from public docs, not a measured project. Rubric.
