ClickUp Migration in Durham

Moving Durham organisations into or out of ClickUp. The decision that shapes the whole project is how deep to make the hierarchy — teams arriving from a flat tool build elaborate nesting because it is available, then find that everyday tasks sit four levels down and nobody can locate anything.

Why this comes up

The problem

Work is scattered across a previous tool, spreadsheets and shared documents, and consolidating it means deciding what the structure should be.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Hierarchy kept as shallow as the work allows rather than as deep as it permits
  • Custom field definitions rationalised before import, not replicated per Space
  • Tasks, subtasks and dependencies mapped, since these translate imperfectly
  • Attachments and comments handled explicitly, as exports frequently omit them
  • Views and dashboards rebuilt, because these do not transfer between tools
  • A cutover date with the previous system made read-only rather than deleted

Working in Durham

North East

Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.

Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

ClickUp Migration in Durham — common questions

How deep should the hierarchy be?
Shallower than the tool encourages. Every level added is another click and another place something can be filed wrongly, and structures designed on a whiteboard consistently prove deeper than daily work tolerates. Starting shallow and adding where genuinely needed works better.
What happens to custom fields?
They need consolidating first. Fields defined per Space multiply across a workspace, and importing an existing sprawl produces dozens of near-identical definitions that make reporting across the organisation impossible. Rationalising before import is far easier than afterwards.
Do dependencies survive?
Partially, and it varies by source. Task relationships, blocking dependencies and date links translate imperfectly between tools with different models, and checking a sample after import is worth the time — silently broken dependencies are discovered when a plan fails to update.
Is ClickUp too much for a small team?
It can be. The feature surface is enormous, most teams use a fraction, and the abundance itself causes decision paralysis about how to set things up. For a small team with straightforward work, something simpler is often a better fit than a well-configured ClickUp.
Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
Do you cover the areas around Durham?
Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
