Zoho Sprints
Design & Product · www.zoho.com/sprints/
Overview
Zoho Sprints is a cloud-based agile project management tool for Scrum and Kanban teams, covering backlog management, sprint planning, release management, and reporting such as burndown, velocity, and cumulative flow. It is built for product and engineering teams that need lightweight, dedicated agile execution rather than a general-purpose PM tool, and integrates tightly with the rest of the Zoho ecosystem as well as third-party dev tools like GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps.
The problem Zoho Sprints solves
Product teams running Scrum or Kanban often outgrow spreadsheets but balk at Jira's price and complexity, especially smaller teams already paying for other Zoho apps. Zoho Sprints solves that by bundling backlog management, sprint and release planning, and agile reporting into a low-cost, natively Zoho-integrated tool, and reviewers consistently cite its affordability and ease of use as the reason they switched from pricier competitors.
