About Zenhub
What is Zenhub?
Zenhub is a project management tool that lives inside GitHub, not beside it. It solves the problem of disconnected planning and tracking for engineering teams by adding a structured hierarchy (Objectives → Epics → Tasks), real-time roadmaps, and reporting directly into your existing GitHub workflow. This helps teams stop juggling separate tools and stay focused on building software.
Who is it for?
Zenhub is built for software development teams—especially those already using GitHub—who need advanced project management without leaving their code base. It’s ideal for CTOs, engineering managers, and developers frustrated by manual tracking, limited visibility, and context-switching. It is not designed for non-technical teams or projects that don't use GitHub, as its core value relies on deep GitHub integration.
Key features and real use cases
Teams use Zenhub to automate sprint planning, generate AI-powered summaries, and visualize progress with control charts and cumulative flow diagrams. For instance, a mid-sized product team can break a large release into multi-level projects, assign sub-issues, and automate status updates—all synced bidirectionally with GitHub issues and pull requests. The Engineering Investment Report (EIR) helps leadership decide where to allocate developer time, while AI acceptance criteria and label suggestions reduce manual overhead.
Key features
- Multi-level project hierarchy — Manage work from high-level Objectives down to Sub-tasks, all within GitHub.
- AI-powered automation — Automate sprint planning, generate sprint reviews, and get AI-suggested labels and acceptance criteria.
- Real-time reporting — Access advanced reports (Control Chart, Cumulative Flow, Velocity) that pull live data from GitHub.
- Roadmaps and sprint boards — Visualize timelines and progress with real-time roadmaps and basic sprint boards.
- GitHub sync — All issues, pull requests, and statuses stay in sync without manual updates.
- Planning Poker and estimates — Estimate tasks collaboratively using Agile poker directly within GitHub.
- Workspace automation — Set custom triggers to move issues, assign labels, and notify your team automatically.
