Key Features We Love
Here are some of the core features that set Zoho Projects apart, and why they matter for your team:
Planning: Zoho Projects allows you to break your work into clear, structured components such as Phases, Task Lists, Tasks, and Subtasks. This hierarchy makes it easier to create realistic project timelines, assign responsibilities to the right people, and avoid missed steps or confusion. By organizing work in detail, you can confidently track progress and keep everyone accountable from start to finish.
Collaboration: You can keep everyone in sync with built-in tools like Feeds and Notifications, the Activity Stream, Wiki Pages, a Forum, and Chat. These features give your team multiple ways to stay informed and connected, whether you are sharing files, asking questions, or posting updates. Effective collaboration means fewer silos, faster decision-making, and a smoother flow of information across your organization.
Tracking Progress: Reports and charts provide visibility into the health of each project, allowing you to track performance across your portfolio. With clear data on what is complete, what is delayed, and where resources are focused, your team can make informed decisions, adjust timelines when necessary, and demonstrate progress to stakeholders with confidence.
Boosting Productivity: Timesheets, Workload Reports, and Timers help your teams measure productivity accurately and optimize how work gets done. You can see exactly where time is being spent, balance workloads fairly, and ensure projects are delivered efficiently. These tools also support billing and performance reviews by providing a reliable record of effort.
Knowledge Management: WorkDrive lets you securely manage files and collaborate across teams without leaving the platform. Centralized document storage reduces the time spent searching for resources, keeps everyone working on the most current version, and supports compliance by keeping project information organized and accessible in one place.
Effective Billing: Invoices and Expenses help you track project costs so you can bill clients accurately by hours worked or by staff assigned. With everything connected in the same platform, you reduce manual data entry, avoid billing errors, and maintain a clear view of your financials. This makes it easier to keep projects profitable and transparent.
Issue Management: The Issues module makes it simple to submit, track, and close bugs quickly, so your projects stay on schedule. By resolving problems as soon as they arise, your team can maintain quality standards, avoid last-minute delays, and deliver work that meets expectations.
Integrations: Zoho Projects connects seamlessly with tools you already use, including Microsoft Teams, ServiceNow, Zendesk, Slack, and many others. With 50+ integrations available via its marketplace, you do not have to sacrifice your preferred workflows or move between multiple systems to get work done. Integrations save time, improve data consistency, and help your teams stay productive.
