How to Migrate from Trello to GitScrum?
How to migrate from Trello to GitScrum?
Migrating from Trello to GitScrum is straightforward since both use Kanban boards. Export Trello board as JSON, map lists to GitScrum columns, import cards as tasks, and configure WIP limits and auto-assign rules. GitScrum adds developer-specific features like Team Standup and NoteVault that Trello lacks. Migration typically takes a few hours.
Migration steps:
- Export Trello board - Download as JSON
- Create GitScrum project - Set up new project
- Create columns - Match Trello lists
- Import cards - Add as tasks
- Assign members - Map users
- Configure WIP limits - Add flow control
- Set up Team Standup - Enable async dailies
- Create NoteVault docs - Add documentation
