Importing from Microsoft Project
Importing Microsoft Project files to Jira
You can import tasks from Microsoft Project as Jira issues by clicking Tools ⇒ MS Project import on the operations bar.
In order to use this function, you need to have global administrator permission to "Bulk change" issues .
Each Microsoft Project field is imported as Jira issue field with the following conversion table. The destination Jira field of the planned dates (Start Date, Finish Date, Baseline Start Date, and Baseline Finish Date) and % Complete varies depending on the configurations in the WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira.
Microsoft Project field | WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira | Notes |
|---|---|---|
WBS code | Summary | WBS code and Task name are combined under Summary. |
Task name | ||
Memo | Description | |
Task mode | Manual mode in WBS Gantt-Chart | When the Task mode is "manually schedule", the value of Manual mode (WBSGantt) is set as Yes. |
Start date | Start Date in WBS Gantt-Chart | If read-only (non-editable) fields such as Created and Sprint are configured in WBS Gantt-Chart, those values will not be imported. |
Finish date | Finish Date in WBS Gantt-Chart | |
Baseline start | Baseline Start Date in WBS Gantt-Chart | |
Baseline finish | Baseline Finish Date in WBS Gantt-Chart | |
% complete | % done | If % done field is configured as "Calculate with time tracking automatically" or "Calculate with specific fields automatically" in WBS Gantt-Chart, those values will not be imported. |
Resource | Assignee | Searches users registered in Jira in order of "Username" and "Full name." If there is a match, the matched user is selected as the assignee. The import will fail if the selected user does not have "Assignable" permission. |
Deadline | Due date | |
Reporter | Configures the user who performs the import as the reporter. | |
