Zoho Sprints | Product Updates | Quarter 1

Zoho Sprints | Product Updates | Quarter 1

Hello all,

We are happy to connect back with our quarterly updates. As we all stay united in this fight against the pandemic, the past few months have been a real challenge for the business sectors. During this phase, teams that have already adopted the agile methodology find it easy to manage change and uncertainty. Being the agile tool in the market, our team has been working remotely, running several iterations, and striving to release the planned features to our customers.

Here's a quick run-through of the features and enhancements that we rolled out in the first quarter.



Release Management

A bigger deliverable needs a perfect plan and an organized workflow. Every project has different milestones that combine new features and small enhancements. This is where Release Management comes into play. Plan your milestones as releases, associate relevant work items and sprints, track your release progress, and manage your delivery without any setbacks. Learn more.

Jenkins integration

Adding devops to your agile process is indeed a success. We have integrated with Jenkins to make your development and management process clutter-free. Create a new item, update the status, priority, add feed status, and comments during your build updates from Jenkins. You can see the Jenkins reports based on your build updates from Zoho Sprints. Learn more.

User swimlane

Until now, you were able to view your scrum board across different swimlanes like Epic, Story, Priority, and Estimation Points. We have now added a new view called 'User Swimlane'. This will help the sprint owner to track the total number of work items across statuses assigned to each member in the sprint.

Attach files from work drive

You no longer have to search for files from other sources. The cloud picker in Zoho Sprints now allows you to attach your documents and other files from your Zoho Workdrive.

Enhanced MS Teams integration

MS Team users can now navigate to their teams directly from Zoho Sprints. This integration is now available across domains.

Do try out the features and comment your suggestions or queries as comments. Before we wind up, here's a checklist planned for our next quarter.

What's coming up for the next quarter?

  • Roles, profiles, and user groups
  • Zoho Mail integration
  • Slack integration 
We will meet you in the next quarter with much more new updates. Until then, stay safe.

                                                  Hello there, It's been a week since we launched the Zoho's only agile project management tool - Zoho Sprints. I guess you guys are loving it! Bringing agility to your team has never been this easy because you will be able to inspect, iterate, and adapt. You have a requirement; break it down into smaller units; get the work done in parallel; receive the deliverables in shorter phases called sprints. The best part of Agile is you get a chance to quickly respond to change and not stick to a fixed plan.

When the text is entered or pasted, there is no error to say that the text is too large. After saving and going back to view most of the text is gone.   Also, when viewing the resume, the text is not wrapped in the multi line fields and can t be read without scrolling across the page.

Since it has been opened up, we are getting lot of spam message (for now about 20 a day). To lower the  amount of false new leads we added the captcha field and new enquieries are send to the Approval Leads list. However we still get some spam. Is there any "anti spam" mechanism built in Zoho CRM, or how is the best way to avoid these kind of spam ? Thanks
