PM Recommendations
Phases/Milestones- the morale boosters
Have you ever wondered why long treks have halfway points? They serve as psychological markers to build confidence in the trekkers, encouraging them to carry on the rest of their journey. Considerate, right?
Phases in projects play a similar role in motivating your teams as they progress through defined milestones, focusing on smaller, manageable goals. It also helps track the project’s schedule with phased decision points.
Key Releases
As part of Zoho Sprints 3.0, we’ve launched the following features:
Deliver projects within the target budget and optimize project spending with expense tracking. You can choose specific budget types, monitor planned and threshold values to spot overspending, and also gain insights into future budgeting.
Streamline quality assurance in your software development life cycle by planning test cases, managing test suites, and executing test runs right from Sprints. Test management equips QA teams with the test scenarios, execution steps, and expected results, making the process traceable and straightforward.
Design your organization’s unique processes using custom modules— collect necessary data, assign permissions, and setup automation flows to match your precise requirements. With custom modules, you do not have to bend your processes to align with the software, instead leverage the software to fit your goals.
Identifying risks in a project helps teams understand the potential threats and take informed decisions right from the initial stages of the project. Discovering opportunities helps improve outcomes and generate additional value to the projects. The risk and opportunity matrix classifies the level of impact on each project, prompting teams to find ways to mitigate risks and utilize opportunities to maximize the project's potential.
AI-powered Sprints
Explore AI-based voice to text converter, custom module builder, subitem generator, and the most sought after Zoho MCP integration with Zoho Sprints to unleash AI power.
Integrations
A whole new range of integrations with Zoho QEngine, JIRA, and Microsoft SharePoint ensures consistent and up-to date data flow across all applications you use.
A new addition to Zoho Projects Plus:
We’ve introduced Notebook, a note-taking and to-do list management software, in Zoho Projects Plus, allowing you to jot down quick notes, lists, and sketches, or add audio, photo, and file notes — all seamlessly organized, collaborative, and securely synced across devices.
Productivity Tips
We post periodic tips and tricks to help users maximize the capabilities of our products. Here's a compilation of the latest tips:
- User Automation: User based workflow rules & webhooks in Zoho Projects
- CodeX Scripts for Enforcing Custom Project Logic in Zoho Projects
- A note-taking app right inside your project management space for Zoho Projects Plus
Solution Corner
Our solution experts team creates custom functions on demand to meet your unique requirements. Here's a list of recent requests:
Auto-Notify External Users on Issue Closure
Zoho Projects allows external users to report issues to your organization via Web to Issue Form which can be embedded in webpages. Once reported, the issue gets filed and its status can be updated as it progresses.
One of our customers wanted to notify external issue reporters via email when the issue is closed. We implemented this with business rules and custom functions where an email with the issue details is triggered to the reporter once it is closed. Refer this post for the custom function script.
Auto-create Dependent Task on Status Change
We received an interesting requirement to automatically create and assign a dependent task when a task’s status is updated. We worked with the customer to create a custom function to solve their exact requirement. Explore the custom function we created in this post.
We build custom solutions to solve unique customer requirements and accommodate personalized requests. If you are looking for customized solutions in Zoho Projects, leave a comment below and our team will reach out to you!
We hope all these new additions and enhancements help you manage your projects better. Keep tabs on this space for more such round-ups and updates on our suite of project management tools.
