ZenTao

Business Software IT and Operations

Description

The main design philosophy of ZenTao is based on Scrum, a popular Agile methodology. Scrum is very pragmatic and easy to operate, so it fits the fast iterative development of software projects. Howeve...r, Scrum only defines the core management framework. There are still many details and processes that have to be extended and developed. Based on the philosophy of Scrum and with the observation of the current development situations in China, ZenTao integrates bug management, test case management, release management and document management, and it completely covers the entire lifecycle of software development. In ZenTao, the concepts of product, project, and test are clearly defined. Product team, development team and QA team coordinate and check with each other while they function differently. The three teams interact with each other through stories, tasks, and bugs, and eventually deliver the product with quality. Read moreless

Overall Opinion: I am a Scrum Master and Zentao has various reporting tool to gather the data and helps me understand how the team velocity is like. The team updates their daily and task status, and I can find reports on tasks, stories, and the project overview. I would recommend it to other agile teams.

Pros: - bug tracking are definitely fantastic - offline sync, diff / repositories, nested comments, multiple view layouts, and chat.

Cons: - the UI and UX can be improved for team collaboration - a little bit learning curve for the team

Max is using ZenTao almost every day since at least a year or more.

ZenTao is a very good scrum tool which could be a jira alternative.

Overall Opinion: First of all, it has open-source version which is totally free and self-hosted available. It could be an alternative to Jira. Secondly, it's a Scrum tool that implements scrum precisely. There is three main modules which are product, sprint, and test. The wiki library is powerful, so well as Report, you could get your resource details like hours, efforts of your developers, and workflow which is something like in Jira. We really love the three modules in zentao which clearly seperate po, dev and testers that make them work in their own module but could collaborate at the same time.

Pros: 1. Product-sprint-test, they are all linked with stories, tasks, and bugs, you could easily track if user stories have been completed. 2. sprint timeline, with Gantt, burndown, and kanban for visualizations, efforts for what your team has been doing everyday. 3. Report is very powerful, for checking workload, your resource, and results for queries like product summary or something like that.

Cons: The mobile app is not complete, it only has basic modules from a web App, which seems not to be to a qualified App I think.
