Zoho Sprints - Q2 updates for 2025

Hello everyone!

We’re excited to share the latest updates from Zoho Sprints for Q2 2025! This quarter, we rolled out a few highly-requested features designed to enhance collaboration and time management across your projects.

Here's a look back at the features and their functionalities:

• Use item sharing to widen your audience
  
• Refine item estimation using an estimation planner
  
• Sync with Xero to manage invoicing
  
• Import log hour data from a spreadsheet to Zoho Sprints
  

Share Work Items

Collaboration just got easier! You can now share work items across different projects or with users outside your project. Use the 'Share work items with other users' option when you need input from someone outside your team, and choose 'Share work items with other projects' for tasks that span multiple projects. Learn more 

Estimation Planner extension

In Sprint planning, it's essential to update the estimation point for each work item before you begin working on the item. Estimation points help teams gauge the level of effort required to complete a task. The Estimation Planner extension streamlines this process by allowing assignees to vote on their estimated effort for each work item. Once voting is complete, the final estimation is automatically updated in the work item based on the Estimation Factor defined by the sprint owner. Learn more 

Xero Integration

Install Xero extension from our Zoho Sprints Marketplace to sync your project log hours with Xero. Once you sync them, you can easily create invoices for the work items, timesheets, or projects directly in Xero.  Manage your business's billing and accounting effortlessly and efficiently with this integration. Learn more 

Import Timesheet from file

Do you have log hour data on a spreadsheet? Import the logged hours into Zoho Sprints using the "Import Timesheet from File" option. This feature allows you to map the fields from your spreadsheet to the corresponding fields in Zoho Sprints, making the process seamless. It eliminates the need for manual data entry, saving time and improving productivity. Learn more

Do try out these features and let us know how they helped with the usability of the product.

There're several high-impact features lined up for the next quarter that could significantly boost your project management effort and the quality of your deliverable. So stay tuned!

If you have any questions, feel free to drop in the comments section or send us an email at support@zohosprints.com.

Thank you,
