ZenHub a magic tool for Project Management - Part -1

ZenHub

The agile technique is followed by ZenHub, which is integrated into GitHub. In essence, this is a browser plugin that can be used to install an application either on-premises or in the cloud. Users have access to this portal, which allows them to centralize their management workflow and codes. As a result, customers may utilize ZenHub to address GitHub problems, complaints, and PRs for high-quality insights that are also very actionable. They may set and achieve GitHub goals, stay on top of project milestones, and more with the help of the service.
