Zoho Sprints

Zoho Sprints is Manageable and Customizable

Commentaires : We decided to use Scrum methodology. Zoho Sprints was able to handle backlog and bug log the way we have been using it. It was available and it worked without a huge learning curve for a short deadline.

Avantages :

I like the customization of features, especially creating card templates and statuses. Custom templates comes in handy when we are importing from another platform like Trello and we want to use the same format. I also like the integration between other platforms including Zoho Projects for Gantt charts. I like that we can add a custom 'Status Type'. I used this feature to add a 'Review' status for code review. I also like the integration with Zoho Projects and Trello. I also liked how I can simply reorder users stories or work items, from sprints or backlog, into different Epics.

Inconvénients :

I found Epics to be a little confusing. I am curious as to why this is a premium feature. It appears there are many other features I would consider premium. Some of the dashboard items were hard to setup to be useful.

Alternatives envisagées : Zoho Projects, Trello et Microsoft Teams

Pourquoi choisir Zoho Sprints : Most of the features were free and the rest was included with the trial. We used Zoho for other business processes and decided to give it a try.

Logiciel antérieur : Trello

Pourquoi passer à Zoho Sprints : Price and availability. Messages and alerts were in Zoho.

How we changed from a cascade methodology to a scrum one with Zoho Sprints

Commentaires : We are still growing around it, learning how to implement it in a proper way, but we are feeling very satisfied with the starting results.

Avantages :

How easy it is to move your team from another solution to this one, after a proper scrum training and with the online training available.

Inconvénients :

We are currently using Zoho Projects coming from a cascade methodology, we wrote to Zoho's customer service to check if there was a way to migrate our projects data to Zoho Sprints but we have not received any answer yet.

Alternatives envisagées : Jira, monday.com et Asana

Pourquoi choisir Zoho Sprints : Going from a cascade method to a scrum/agile one

Logiciel antérieur : Zoho Projects

Pourquoi passer à Zoho Sprints : We have already used Zoho products before, it felt easier and closer to use than other options.

Worst project management software I've ever used

Commentaires : Absolutely horrible. Doesn't integrate well with Zoho Desk, Zoho CRM, or any of the Zoho projects. Horrendous UI. Buggy and glitchy. Run - don't walk - away from this part of Zoho. There are plenty of solid project management/agile management tools out there that offer great value - this would be dead last in ratings.

Avantages :

Zoho One generally has good breadth and value for money. Zoho Sprints should be removed from the Zoho platform. I suppose if you were running a team of yourself, and hated your time but love clicking your mouse and being frustrated, this might be a good choice.

Inconvénients :

Absolutely unusable. The integrations into the rest of Zoho One's products is barely there. The interface is not intuitive. Buttons are completely in the wrong place. If you asked a UX designer to create a piece of software with the maximum amount of clicks and that forces a user to really slow down and search for how to use the software, they would struggle to design Zoho Sprints.

Alternatives envisagées : Jira et ClickUp

Pourquoi choisir Zoho Sprints : Made a bad choice, went back as soon as we could undo the carnage Zoho Sprints caused us.

Logiciel antérieur : ClickUp

Pourquoi passer à Zoho Sprints : Bundled as part of Zoho One. Good value on the surface, but that was dead wrong.

My review for zoho sprints

Avantages :

Its time tracking and user point systems

Inconvénients :

Ui can be better more flat system or material ui

Alternatives envisagées : Jira

Pourquoi choisir Zoho Sprints : its just made for project management and information flow is controlled Notion is very open and confidential information cannot be managed.

Logiciel antérieur : Notion

Good tool for Agile/Scrum

Commentaires : For Agile/Scrum, this is the right tool and so we are using this on a daily basis.

Avantages :

Seems it is the correct tool for Agile/Scrum. We evaluated many tools including basecamp, good day etc but nothing to our satisfaction. This fits our needs and bill as well.

Inconvénients :

There are still several bugs in the system which we are raising tickets. They are taking time to resolve. But we are able to use it using work arounds.

Alternatives envisagées : Basecamp et GoodDay

Pourquoi choisir Zoho Sprints : We were looking for good Agile tool and it seems we don't have any tool that fits the needs and bill

Logiciel antérieur : ERPNext

Pourquoi passer à Zoho Sprints : This is the only tool useful for Agile/Scrum. Other tools are very simple or too much.
