What our customers are saying
“We needed to have a consistent view and consistent handling of all projects and all contributions, which was difficult to do with other tools,” explains Francesco. “But the ability of Zenhub’s boards to bring teams, projects, priorities, and tickets into one place made it much easier to keep multiple projects and repositories on track.”

Key terms and concepts to know
Kanban boards are a project management tool for recording and tracking tasks. The boards are divided into several “pipelines,” representing the task's status. Kanban boards are a common tool in agile project management.
Scrum boards are organized in the style of Kanban boards, only they’re cleared of their contents at the end of each sprint. To use your Zenhub board like a Scrum board, you can set up our automatic sprint planning feature.
“Pipelines,” on a Kanban (or Agile/Scrum) board, represent the status of the work being done. For example, “In review” may be a status.
“Issues” in agile project management are another word for smaller tasks or individual units of work. In Zenhub, issues best suited to developers are GitHub Issues and issues best suited to non-technical team members are Zenhub Issues.
Epics in agile project management are groupings of issues that are related to one another. If an issue has multiple elements to it, it's best to break it down into multiple issues grouped into an Epic.
Sprints, in agile project management, are defined periods of time in which a software team commits to an assigned group of issues to work on. Sprints are usually 2-4 weeks long.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Zenhub board?
Zenhub boards are where you manage your work. Zenhub boards allow you to see the status of various GitHub issues are they’re being worked on, move issues between pipelines and prioritize issues.
What is a Zenhub workspace?
A workspace is a unique space for one team. Boards, reports, and roadmaps live under and contain information about a single workspace.
What is a Zenhub pipeline?
Zenhub pipelines represent the status of an issue (task). The Zenhub board is divided into multiple pipelines, and as an issue changes status, team members move the issue from one pipeline to the next. For example, you may move an issue from “being worked on” to “ready for review.”
