ZenHub, a project management tool integrated natively in GitHub, has released ZenHub Epics – an upgrade to task management in GitHub. ZenHub Epics allows software teams to plan and execute product backlogs – bringing a level of focus to the development process not previously achievable for GitHub’s millions of users. This release is a competitive move by the company, which is just over one year old. Coupled with a steady stream of product improvements, ZenHub is luring software-driven teams away from “traditional” project management tools. Legacy project management tools have faced criticism by their end users – software developers – for steep learning curves, bloated feature sets, or prohibitive permissions structures. ZenHub provides a different approach to the project management process – putting control in the hands of developers, not a gated administrator; placing the code on centre stage; and providing just enough process to help teams move as fast as possible. ZenHub keeps teams focused within largest technical collaboration platform in the world: GitHub. As the only solution natively integrated in GitHub’s interface, customers save the equivalent of forty workdays per year with the tool, which offers features like visual task boards, burndown charts to track velocity, and a personal task manager. ZenHub Enterprise, the company’s on-premise solution for GitHub Enterprise users, will also support epics.
