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.
