How the model is organised

Portfolio and scope

Organizations holds client and internal business identities. Projects links Organization and Owner, with start date, end date, Budget, delivery method and Status.

Team capacity

Team members records Role, Practice, weekly capacity hours, Region, practice lead and Active. Assignment and effort summaries include assigned estimate hours, assigned actual hours and logged hours.

Work packages

Work packages belongs to Project and names Owner, start date, end date and budget hours. Task estimate hours and task actual hours support the package comparison.

Task workload

Tasks requires work package and can link Assignee and Project. Start date, due date, estimate hours, actual hours, percent complete and Status describe the assignment.

Time and effort

Time entries requires work date, Hours, team member and Project; Task is optional. Billable and Status keep time classifications distinguishable.

Delivery exceptions

Issues, Milestones and Risks each link Project and can name an Owner. Issues tracks Severity and Status; Milestones tracks due date and Status; Risks retains Category, Probability, Impact and Mitigation.

Decisions and evidence

Review decisions uses subject type, subject reference, Reviewer and related project. Operation receipts stores operation type, Reference, Result and Actor. Record attachments uses parent table name and parent record ID with file metadata.

User identity

Keys and references

Preserve each record identity and reference target during migration. Do not replace work packages.Project or Tasks.work package with a display-name match. Check that an optional Tasks.Project link agrees with the intended package project.

Textual evidence references need explicit resolution. Record attachments.parent table name uses display labels such as Work Packages and Time Entries; map them to work packages and time entries when resolving parent record ID. Review decisions.subject type supports Project, Work Package, Task, Milestone and Deliverable. Resolve subject reference under the chosen type and keep related project consistent.

Operation receipts.Reference is text, so verify the target for each operation type. Review calculated and rollup fields against source records during setup, including hours variance, delivery progress percent, risk score and risk rating.

Migration order

  1. Access and people. Establish Users and team members, then configure and test identity mapping and access.
  2. Organizations and portfolio. Import Organizations and Projects with the intended organization and owner links.
  3. Delivery structure. Import work packages before Tasks, preserving their project and assignee references.
  4. Delivery concerns. Import Milestones, Issues and Risks with valid project and owner links.
  5. Time and evidence. Import time entries, then review decisions, record attachments and operation receipts with resolved references. Reconcile historical states before enabling live actions.
  6. Summary checks. Compare task and time detail with the project, package and person summaries used in the pilot.
