It’s great to be in “the cloud” but you should not sacrifice control and ownership of your information. That’s why Agile Bench has both importing and exporting capabilities.

Import

If you are moving from another system, or just wanted to give Agile Bench a try with your real data, then why retype everything? You shouldn’t! We’ve built a way for you to import your stories right into Agile Bench.

If your data is in another online system you should be able to export it into a CSV file (and if you can’t, that should worry you) and then upload. We know a lot of people use Excel as their project management tool which also allows you to export your data as a CSV.

Now you are up and running with a minimum of fuss.

Export

Exporting your data is even more straight forward than importing your data. You’ll get the following fields: ID, Title, Story Type, Estimate, Current State, Deadline, Created At, Details, Iteration Name, Iteration Position.

Going forward – the API

We want to make it easier for you and your company to manage their data.  We are really excited to have an API in beta mode.  If you’d like access please drop us a line.

Just click on the story from the iteration management  page and you can update the story title, assigned developers or delivery estimate.
