For teams who practice agile methodologies, like Jira, ZenTao also provides scrum and kanban boards out-of-the-box. Boards provide transparency across teamwork and visibility into the status of every work item. Time tracking capabilities and real-time performance reports (burn-up/down charts, sprint reports, velocity charts) enable teams to closely monitor their productivity over time.

Jira provides agile teams: Issue tracking, Kanban boards, Customizable workflows, Project-level permissions, Estimation & work logging, Project backlogs, Progress reporting, Email notifications, Scrum boards, and Roadmaps.

Based on the Scrum framework, ZenTao covers the whole lifecycle management of software development. After the project is launched, the three project management models, Agile (Scrum), Waterfall or Kanban, can be integrated for process management according to the actual needs of project management.

• Agile Model

The Agile model is designed based on the SCRUM and is an iterative management method.

The agile model divides the project into multiple short-term iterations. By taking small steps, rapid iteration, feedback, and continuous optimization, the risk of development is minimized and the function implementation are guaranteed to fit the actual requirements.
