Improve user efficiency with Automated reminders

Improve user efficiency with Automated reminders


When it comes to business, keeping up with the deliverables is imperative. Automated reminders help you just with that, allowing you to set up notifications that are automatically triggered to your workspace users to remind them about important updates, upcoming deadlines, and tasks that need attention. These reminders are sent based on conditions set by the admins or workspace owners. This feature ensures that everyone stays aligned and keeps the momentum going.

Some of the key benefits of Automated Reminders include timely notifications, improved user efficiency, and enhanced productivity.

Example 

As a project owner, you would like to notify the assignees and sprint owner about the work items that are overdue and have no updates since last month; you can set conditions based on the "End Date", "Modified on" fields and "Status type" (as on the screenshot) to fetch such work items and notify the assignees to work on them on priority. 


Set Up Automated Reminders   

Head over to the Automation section within Settings in Zoho Sprints and select Automated Reminders to customize your reminder settings based on your project needs. Whether it’s for task due dates, sprint deadlines, or backlog items, you can ensure that your team stays ahead of the game.

Learn more about Automated Reminders from this help document.

      Continuing from our Tip #2 on leading to a sprint, let's see how to manage the work items on the Scrum board.  Once you start the sprint your work items are automatically displayed on the Scrum board where you will actually manage the work items. It is a snapshot of the backlog items identified for the current sprint.    The layout of the Scrum board Simply put, the scrum board is just like a physical board with sticky notes on which the work items of the active sprint are displayed.  The scrum board

    • Tip #1- Why swimlanes?

      Lanes define a clear path to reach your destination. In Agile, swimlane is one such concept that sets a simple and clear process of the work that you do.   The concept of swimlane can be related to the pool, where the swimmers gather in their respective lanes to start off. Similar to the pool, work items are grouped in different categories. Each category is referred as a lane and is displayed in horizontal format. Swimlanes are effective in categorizing the work items with respective to specific
