Project Management Bulletin: July, 2026


Welcome back to a new edition of project management bulletin craftily curated with all new updates from our suite of project management products--Zoho Projects, Zoho Sprints, Zoho Projects Plus, and Zoho BugTracker!

Before we begin, we wanted to share a light-hearted quote with you. Have you heard of the 90-90 rule?

Quote
The first 90% of a project accounts for 90% of the time. The remaining 10% accounts for the other 90% of the time.  

Hilarious, isn’t it? But if Zoho Projects were a person, we could very well imagine a big frown.

Our timeless project management capabilities offer the best of classic, agile, and hybrid project management options, for customers to experience the best of project, time, and user management solutions. Here’s our latest roundup of our upcoming meetups, new features, and latest updates.
 

Project management meetups

Solution corner  

Our solution experts team creates custom functions on demand to meet your unique requirements. Here's a list of recent requests:

Auto-create recurring tasks using Schedule Function

We received an interesting request from a customer wanting a single task to be simultaneously created in multiple projects of their portal. We suggested Schedule Functions and provided a Deluge code to configure in their portal. Refer this post to know the detailed steps to configure this solution.
 

Mandate time logging during task closure

One of our customers wanted to prompt their users with a reminder message to update time logs whenever a task status is updated. This ensures that time tracking for the project is accurate and reflects rightly on the budget. We suggested a CodeX script to solve this requirement.

For example, let's say we have 90 items in stock. Customer 1 orders 100 items. This allocates all 90 items to their order, and they have a back order for the remaining 10 items which could

The use case here is that it's infinitely easier for humans to maintain a spreadsheet table than any .md / TAML / JSON document. For situations where humans are responsible

                                                                                                                        • Is it possible to clone my Lead module layout to Customer and Potential layouts?

Awaiting.
