Whiteboard | Zoho Sprints Help

Whiteboard

Whiteboard is a concept widely used to assist in collaborating with a group or team and sharing ideas using simple visual elements. It is based on the typical physical whiteboard that enables a presenter to roughly sketch thoughts on a board to convey them to an audience.
Zoho Sprints comes with whiteboard integration for the users or participants of a work item, a sprint or a release to effectively collaborate and brainstorm. It serves as an easy but efficient tool to communicate the plan for the work items or sprints, the strategy for development, or the process flow to achieve the expected result.
