What is ZenHub?
ZenHub is an agile project management tool designed to integrate seamlessly with GitHub. It adds extra features on top of GitHub's basic issue tracking such as:
- Boards - Kanban-style boards for visualizing workflows and moving issues through pipelines.
- Roadmaps - High-level views for planning releases and milestones.
- Reports - Insights into cycle times, throughput, and forecasting.
- Burndown Charts - Tracking progress during iterations or projects.
ZenHub lets teams plan sprints, prioritize features, estimate work effort, and measure productivity without leaving GitHub. Everything stays connected to GitHub issues and pull requests. It's a simple way to enable Scrum workflows for GitHub-centric teams without needing a separate dedicated project management system.
Some of the key benefits of ZenHub include:
- Tight GitHub integration - No context switching or separate tools.
- Productivity metrics and reports - Objective data to spot trends.
- Project roadmapping - Manage milestones and strategic objectives.
- Works with public/private repos - Get organizing features for all projects.
- Browser extensions - Access boards from GitHub UI.
Overall, ZenHub makes GitHub even more powerful for agile software teams. With the ability to visualize issues across repositories and plan higher-level strategy, it's a top choice for enabling Scrum workflows natively within GitHub.
