When Zoho launched its project management offerings, the goal was clear: empower teams to plan, track, and execute projects with precision. Over time, this vision has evolved into something far more comprehensive with the arrival of Zoho Projects Plus—a unified platform that transcends traditional project management. Unveiled as part of Zoho’s ever-expanding suite, Projects Plus integrates a trio of powerful tools—Zoho Projects, Zoho Sprints, and Zoho BugTracker—into a seamless ecosystem designed for intelligent, data-driven work. As of April 3, 2025, this platform is redefining how teams collaborate, adapt, and deliver. Let’s dive into what makes Projects Plus a standout solution and how its features and use cases are shaping the future of work.
A Unified Approach to Project Success
At its core, Projects Plus is about breaking down silos. By combining Zoho Projects (for traditional project management), Zoho Sprints (for agile workflows), and Zoho BugTracker (for issue resolution), it offers a holistic environment where teams can manage every aspect of their work without toggling between apps. This is not just about convenience—it is about creating a single source of truth where planning, execution, and troubleshooting coexist. Whether you are orchestrating a marketing campaign, developing software, or managing a construction project, Projects Plus ensures your team stays aligned and your goals remain in sight.
Key Features That Drive Efficiency
Key Features That Drive Efficiency
Projects Plus brings a robust set of features to the table, each tailored to streamline workflows and boost productivity:
- Task Management Across Methodologies: With Zoho Projects, you can break down complex initiatives into tasks, subtasks, and milestones, complete with Gantt charts for visualising timelines and dependencies. Meanwhile, Zoho Sprints adds agile flair, offering sprint planning, backlogs, and Kanban boards for iterative work. This hybrid capability means teams can toggle between Waterfall and Agile—or blend them—without missing a beat.
- Real-Time Collaboration: The platform’s built-in chat, forums, and feeds foster instant communication. Need to brainstorm? Jump into a Zoho Meeting integration for virtual face-to-face discussions. Every update, comment, and decision lives in one place, reducing email clutter and keeping everyone on the same page.
- Time Tracking and Resource Utilisation: Log billable and non-billable hours effortlessly with timesheets, then generate invoices via Zoho Invoice integration. The resource utilisation chart provides a clear view of who is overloaded or underutilised, helping managers optimise team capacity in real time.
- Bug Tracking Made Simple: Zoho BugTracker shines for software teams, letting you log, categorise, and prioritise issues with ease. Automate escalations with SLAs and track progress through detailed reports, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
- Customisation and Automation: Tailor workflows with custom fields, statuses, and layouts to match your team’s needs. The drag-and-drop Blueprint feature automates repetitive tasks—like approvals or notifications—saving time and reducing manual errors.
- Analytics for Smarter Decisions: Integration with Zoho Analytics unlocks advanced reporting, from task completion rates to sprint velocity. These insights empower teams to refine processes and hit deadlines consistently.
Solutions and Use Cases: Who Benefits?
Projects Plus is not a one-size-fits-all tool—it is a versatile solution built for diverse industries and workflows. Here is how it is making an impact across Australia:
- Software Development: Developers can plan releases in Zoho Projects, manage sprints in Zoho Sprints, and resolve bugs in Zoho BugTracker—all synced seamlessly. A team building an app in Sydney, for instance, could map out milestones, iterate through features in two-week sprints, and squash bugs before launch, all within one platform.
- Marketing Teams: From campaign ideation to execution, Projects Plus keeps creative workflows on track. Use Zoho Projects to schedule content calendars, Sprints to iterate on designs, and analytics to measure ROI—perfect for launching that next big product reveal in Melbourne.
- Construction and Engineering: Large-scale projects thrive with Gantt charts for scheduling, resource charts for crew allocation, and BugTracker for flagging site issues. A construction firm in Brisbane could coordinate subcontractors, track material deliveries, and resolve safety concerns in real time.
- Consulting Firms: Deliver client projects with precision by assigning tasks, tracking billable hours, and generating invoices. A consultancy in Perth could manage multiple client engagements, ensuring deadlines are met and budgets stay intact.
- Education and Nonprofits: Plan events, coordinate volunteers, or manage grant-funded initiatives with flexible tools that adapt to lean teams. An educational nonprofit in Adelaide might organise a fundraiser, tracking tasks and progress without breaking the bank.
The Plus Factor: Integration and Scalability
What sets Projects Plus apart is its deep integration within the Zoho ecosystem and beyond. Pair it with Zoho CRM for client syncing, Zoho Books for financial oversight, or third-party tools like Slack and GitHub for extended functionality. This interoperability makes it a natural fit for Aussie businesses already using Zoho—or those looking to consolidate their tech stack. Plus, with scalable pricing (starting free for small teams and expanding to enterprise-grade plans), it grows with you, whether you are a startup in Canberra or a global operation based in Sydney.
Final Thoughts: A Platform for the Modern Aussie Team
Zoho Projects Plus is not just about managing projects—it is about mastering them. By uniting planning, agility, and issue resolution into one intelligent platform, it empowers teams to work smarter, not harder. Whether you are a developer squashing bugs, a marketer launching campaigns, or a manager juggling resources, Projects Plus offers the tools to succeed.
