A great collaboration tool!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I'm a big fan of this project planning tool. It's not too complicated, but it still offers all the features I need to get my projects organized and on track. It's easy to use, and it makes me feel like I have control over my projects. I don't know how I got by without it!
Pros
- - project scheduling and management features
- - organizing with teams
- - task/project management
Cons
- Sometimes, updates to a GitHub project can get lost if they're made through ZenHub. You do need to open the GitHub project occasionally, as you don't have exactly the same ability to modify issues and milestones from within ZenHub.
- It's great to be able to see your projects from within ZenHub, but sometimes you'll need to check in on the GitHub project itself, as well.
- I've run into some problems with updates getting lost on occasion. I think this happens when you do the update from within ZenHub instead of from GitHub itself. I also don't have quite as much control over my issues or milestones from within ZenHub.
Most Important Features
- Task management
- Team cooirdination
- API connect
Return on Investment
- Helps coordination and hence time spent on projects
- has made api processes simples with integrations
- has helped meet deadlines better

- Ease of use for development teams to update progress.
- Perfect integration with GitHub.
