What Zenhub is
Zenhub is project management software for software teams that connects GitHub-based project tracking, reporting, and task automation. Its browser extension adds multi-repository Kanban boards, Planning Poker, and automations inside GitHub. Teams can plan sprints, create roadmaps, and organize objectives, projects, epics, tasks, and subtasks. Reports use GitHub data for measures such as issue completion time, lead time, pull request throughput, and code review time. GitHub and Slack integrations are listed on every plan; Slack members can create issues, comment, and receive updates even without Zenhub accounts. A GraphQL API supports issue metadata, issue management, and custom reports. The Free plan allows up to 50 users but is limited to one workspace, one GitHub organization, two repositories, and 250 issues. Teams costs $4.99 per user per month when billed annually. Enterprise Server can run behind a firewall or in a private cloud.
