About ZenHub
ZenHub is a commercial project management tool built specifically for teams that use GitHub. Its GitHub extension adds planning, reporting and automation inside GitHub itself, so engineers can manage issues and sprints without leaving the repository interface.
The product family includes the GitHub extension, ZenHub AI, a Slack integration and sub-issues with issue hierarchies and types. The vendor emphasizes reporting, easy agile practices and cross-team collaboration, and publishes comparisons with GitHub Projects and Jira. A separate offering, ZenHub Enterprise Server, brings the product on-premise for teams that need to host it themselves.
ZenHub has a free start option, demos and a pricing page, and pages for engineering leaders, project managers, developers, product owners and tech consulting firms. It suits software teams who already live in GitHub and want agile planning tied directly to their code.
