Migration guide
Migrate from Height to Planoda
Height pioneered an AI-native autonomous project tool, and its keyboard-first tracker maps closely to Planoda. This guide moves your tasks and lists across so the AI-first workflow you're used to lands intact — plus boards, roadmaps, and SLAs for the rest of the company.
Updated
Migration in short
- Migrating from Height to Planoda is a 7-step path: export, map, import, verify, then cut over.
- Start by exporting from Height — Export from Height, then map every field to its Planoda equivalent.
- 9 Height concepts map onto Planoda fields (issues, workflow states, cycles, estimates, labels, and more), previewed before anything is written.
- Run both tools in parallel for a short overlap, reconcile the counts, then make Planoda the system of record — no work is left behind.
Step by step
How to move from Height
Export from Height
Export your workspace to CSV from workspace settings (Settings → Export), which pulls tasks with their list, status, assignees, and attributes. For full fidelity on relationships and comments, the Height API streams tasks with their links.
Map lists, statuses, and attributes
Height lists map to Planoda teams or projects and task statuses map directly to Planoda workflow states — the keyboard-first models line up closely, so most rows need little transformation. Height attributes map to labels or typed issue properties.
Reconcile members and subtasks
Match Height members to Planoda members by email so assignees resolve to real people, and map subtasks to sub-issues. Any autonomous-rule behaviour you relied on can be rebuilt as Planoda no-code automations or AI triage.
Import into Planoda
Drop your cleaned export into the CSV importer, or push records through the public REST API for large or incremental loads. The importer previews the mapping and flags any rows that need attention before anything is written.
Verify the imported data
Spot-check a sample of issues against the source: titles, assignees, states, priorities, comments, and links. Run a count reconciliation so the totals match before you trust the new workspace.
Run both tools in parallel
Keep the old tool read-only for a short overlap window while your team learns the new workflows. Route all new work into Planoda so nothing is created in two places.
Cut over and archive the source
Once the team is comfortable and open work is in sync, freeze the source tool, export a final backup, and make Planoda the system of record. Update bookmarks, integrations, and team docs.
Field mapping
What maps to what
How Height concepts map onto Planoda.
| Height | Planoda |
|---|---|
| List | Team / Project |
| Task | Issue |
| Subtask | Sub-issue |
| Status | Workflow state |
| Attribute (select) | Priority / Label |
| Attribute (multi) | Label |
| Assignee | Assignee |
| Due date | Due date |
| Linked task | Issue relation / Link |
Pro tips
Make the move smoother
Use the Height API export when comments and linked tasks matter; CSV is fine for a flat task list.
Because the models align, spend the parallel-run window learning Planoda's boards and roadmaps rather than re-learning the tracker basics.
Map attributes to labels or properties consistently before importing so the choice doesn't drift table to table.
