About Zoho Sprints

Zoho Sprints is a cloud-based collaborative project planning and tracking solution for agile teams, which offers drag-and-drop planning tools, Scrum boards, timers and timesheets, meeting scheduling, dashboards, reports, and a team activity feed. The software is designed to be used by teams of all sizes managing multiple projects, and offers native apps for iOS and Android.

Sprints includes a drag-and-drop planning center, which allows users to create sprints and backlog items, with user assignments, estimation points, and prioritization. The Scrum board visualizes all work for each sprint, giving all users insight into task progress. Work statuses can be customized, and users can drag-and-drop work items, stories, and bugs into different completion stages. Work items can also be sorted into swimlanes based on priority, story, or estimation points, and sprint activity graphs allow users to track the progress of any ongoing sprint. The dashboard gives users an overview of key project metrics, with a weekly digest of work items and overall completion. A range of reports are generated automatically by Zoho Sprints, including velocity charts, burnup and burndown charts, and cumulative flow diagrams, allowing users to track progress, identify bottlenecks, and adjust goals.

Users can track billable and non-billable hours in the Sprints timesheet, with a global timer which can be started from anywhere within the system. Time for each work item and team member can be logged, and timesheets can be approved with a single click by scrum masters and product owners. Sprints also allows users to schedule meetings, including sprint reviews, retrospectives, and daily stand-ups. Users can set meeting agendas, invite participants, and apply time limits to meetings. Reminders are automatically generated and sent to participants’ activity feeds and emails.


Key benefits of Zoho Sprints

  • The Scrum board gives users a snapshot of project progress, with board updates appearing automatically on the team feed, the ability to set custom statuses, and default and detailed board views.

  • With the timesheet and global timer, users can log billable and non-billable hours, track the length of time required to complete work items, approve time logs with a single click, and more.

  • The dashboard gives users an overview of key metrics, including completion status, users with the most open or closed work items, sprint activity charts, and backlog metrics.

  • Agile reports are generated automatically, including velocity charts, burnup and burndown charts, and cumulative flow diagrams, which allow users to estimate and predict progress, identify bottlenecks, and track the scope of sprints.

  • Users can schedule meetings for sprint reviews, retrospectives, and daily stand-ups, with the ability to set meeting agendas, choose participants, and apply meeting time-limits, and Sprints automatically sends reminders to participants’ email and feed.

    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.

    Pros

    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.

    Cons

    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 Considered

    Zoho Projects, Trello and Microsoft Teams

    Reasons for Choosing 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.

    Worst project management software I've ever used

    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.

    Pros

    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.

    Cons

    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.

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

    Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints

    Bundled as part of Zoho One. Good value on the surface, but that was dead wrong.

    It is the most exciting and attractive experience. A wonderful experience in Zoho Sprints, as I used the free trial. This is one of the beauties of allowing free use. This tool is also powerful in project management and facilitates effort and time for users.

    Pros

    Zoho Sprints gives me an integrated system through which I can manage distinct and flexible projects that are easy to use, plan tasks, track them smoothly, include notes, and adapt to any recent changes, as well as allocate work cases and personalize the scrum board. When your board is active, it is time to work

    Cons

    It requires more flexibility and ease of moving between customization, windows, and integration with other applications
