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

Microsoft Project field	WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira	Notes
WBS code	Summary	WBS code and Task name are combined under Summary.
Task name	Summary	WBS code and Task name are combined under Summary.
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.
