Exporting and Downloading Projects to Microsoft Project

This article explains how to export and download projects to Microsoft Project.

Overview​

Following these instructions, you can export project and scope data to a file that is compatible with Microsoft Project. This allows you to transfer data between applications.

Steps​

  1. Click the hamburger menu Hamburger icon, click Admin > Projects
  2. Click the + icon and expand the Project Tree.
  3. Click the Add Child Project dropdown and click Export MPX.
  4. Follow the prompts to save the file to you computer, and then import it into Microsoft Project.

The hierarchy you see is created by the following based on the project selection exported from Digital.ai Agility: Project Tree, sprint/iterations, stories, backlog items, and tasks.

The export file maps to the standard Microsoft Project fields. These items, however, map to custom fields in Microsoft Project:

  • Custom Number field 1: Initial Estimate
  • Custom Number field 2: Backlog Item Estimate
