Project management to CRM integration

Connect your project management tools to your CRM so the work that happens after the deal closes stays tied to the account and deal it belongs to. No blind handoffs from sales to delivery, no project status trapped in a separate tool, no account team guessing whether the work is on track.

The problem it solves

Why organizations implement this integration

Teams typically implement project management to CRM integration when the delivery work that follows a sale is disconnected from the customer record. Common triggers include:

A deal closes in the CRM and the handoff to the delivery team happens through a message or a meeting, with details lost along the way
Project status lives in the project tool, so the sales team cannot see whether delivery is on track without asking
Sales and delivery work from separate systems that never agree on where a client actually stands
Stalled projects and missed milestones go unnoticed by the people who own the client relationship
Renewals and expansion are mistimed because nobody connects delivery health to the account in the CRM

This integration keeps delivery work and the customer record in sync, so the whole team sees one picture from sale through delivery to renewal.

How it works

What connects to what

Project management to CRM is a bidirectional connection. A closed deal can create a project in the project tool, and project status, milestones, and task progress flow back to the CRM account or deal. Ownership maps across both systems, and changes in delivery, such as a stalled project or a completed milestone, can trigger CRM alerts and workflows. Sales, delivery, and account management finally work from one connected view of the customer.

Integration eligibility may depend on your subscription tier for certain platforms. We confirm requirements during scoping.

What this integration enables

Common use cases

Projects created from closed deals

When a deal reaches closed-won, a project or board can be created automatically in the project tool, so delivery starts without a manual handoff.

Project status on the CRM record

Task and project progress from the project tool surfaces on the CRM account or deal, so sales and leadership see delivery status without leaving the CRM.

Two-way task and milestone sync

Milestones and key tasks stay aligned between the project tool and the CRM, so both sides reflect the same state of the work.

Ownership and assignment mapping

Account owners and project leads map across systems, so responsibility for a client is clear whether you are in the CRM or the project tool.

Delivery triggers and alerts

A stalled project, a missed milestone, or a completed delivery can trigger a CRM task or alert the account owner automatically.

Renewal and expansion signals

Completed delivery and project health feed back to the CRM, so account teams can time renewals and spot expansion at the right moment.

Common questions

Project management to CRM integration: FAQ

What does project management to CRM integration actually do?

It connects tools like Jira, Asana, Trello, Basecamp, and TaskRay to your CRM so that delivery work stays tied to the customer record. A closed deal can create a project automatically, project status surfaces on the CRM account, and changes in delivery can trigger tasks or alerts, so sales and delivery teams work from the same picture.

Which project management tools integrate with Salesforce and HubSpot?

Jira, Asana, Trello, and Basecamp all integrate with both Salesforce and HubSpot through native apps or connectors. TaskRay is built natively on Salesforce, so it lives inside the CRM directly. The right approach depends on which tool your delivery team already uses and how deep the status and task sync needs to go.

What is the difference between this and the Team Collaboration integration?

The Team Collaboration integration focuses on chat and meeting tools like Slack, Teams, and Zoom, capturing conversations and meeting activity on CRM records. This integration focuses on project and task management, keeping delivery work, project status, and milestones tied to the account. Many teams use both, since conversation and delivery are different parts of the same relationship.

Can a closed deal automatically create a project?

Yes. A common configuration triggers project or board creation in the project tool when a deal reaches closed-won, often from a template, with the account details and key fields carried over. This removes the manual handoff between sales and delivery and makes sure work starts with the right context already in place.

Can project status show up on the CRM record?

Yes. Milestone completion, task progress, and overall project health can surface on the CRM account or deal, so the account team sees delivery status without opening the project tool. This visibility is what lets sales and account management stay informed and time renewals and expansion around real delivery progress.
