Budget management

Define your cost and revenue budget preference in the Settings page. Pick the budget type based on project hours, project amount, release hours, or release amount. Define billing for project, user, item, or profile and set rates for user work hours. Specify planned value and threshold value to get notified when the budget exceeds these values. Select timesheet parameters to account for cost and revenue.

Using the capabilities within the budget module you can monitor budget utilization, forecast upcoming costs, estimate project revenue, and get sufficient insights for budget reallocation and future budgeting. Learn more


Expense tracking

Exercise control over your project's spending capacity by recording and tracking your expenses. Categorize expenses for proper accounts maintenance. Adhere to the built-in approval mechanism for judicious usage of the available financial resources. Learn more

Test management

Unify your testing cycle end-to-end within the confines of a single module: Plan, structure, and execute your testing process in one place.  Learn more
  1. Create and manage test cases, group them into test suites, and execute test runs with ease.

  2. View results, log defects instantly, and get visibility into test coverage and quality.

  3. Use built-in automation to trigger emails and automate specific actions.
This sequential flow of testing from creating test cases to finding bugs and from bugs to incorporating fixes allows teams to test faster and release stable, bug-free deliverables.

Custom module

Build your own global and project level modules to intricately tailor them for your business requirements. This completely transforms the way you collect and process data related to your organization, pushing the boundaries of customization. Learn more



Custom module comes with generative AI support, facilitating intuitive module-building through appropriate prompts describing your requirements. The AI sources relevant custom fields into the module layout based on your prompts, substantially reducing effort.

Automation capabilities like webhooks and custom functions enable you to build a module equipped with workflows and automatic email notifications.

Risk and opportunity management

Record and track potential risks to plan and execute mitigation efforts that eliminate the risk impact at its nascent stage. Identify and monitor potential opportunities and execute action plans to convert them into meaningful business gains. Learn more



Risk and opportunity management is built around well-established quantification systems called risk and opportunity matrix. This allows for easy classification of the risk or opportunity level and the eventual impact. You can assess the attainability of an opportunity or the elimination of a risk through a series of steps.



The review and evaluation system ensures that the mitigation controls and action plans are on track and help achieve the intended goal of diluting a risk or promoting an opportunity.

AI-based enhancements

JIRA integration

Reduce the hassles of cross-functional teams through seamless JIRA integration. Manage the tasks and issues in both Zoho Sprints and JIRA simultaneously. Learn more



Microsoft SharePoint integration

Enable your agile team to access documents maintained in Microsoft SharePoint from the entities within the associated Zoho Sprints workspace. Learn more

Checklist template

Do you have checklists that recur in multiple work items? Templatize and maintain those checklists to reuse them wherever needed. Learn more

Tags and cluster tags

Create and manage custom tags for labeling and organizing the entities in Zoho Sprints. The tags heightens your search capabilities with refined search criteria. Create cluster tags that serve as group tags to widen the scope of the tags. Learn more
