Zoho Projects is a project management application that provides teams with the tools to plan work, track progress, and deliver projects on time. Within Zoho One, Projects can be activated from the Admin Panel and made available to the relevant users across your organisation, keeping project activity connected to the broader suite of business tools.

Core Capabilities of Zoho Projects

Zoho Projects covers the full range of project management functions, from initial planning through to team collaboration and reporting.

• Project planning: Define milestones, task lists, and individual tasks with dependencies, priorities, and deadlines.
• Gantt charts: Visualise project timelines, track critical paths, and adjust schedules as circumstances change.
• Resource management: Allocate team members to tasks, monitor workload distribution, and identify capacity gaps.
• Time tracking: Log hours against tasks and generate timesheets for billing or internal reporting.
• Issue tracking: Raise and manage bugs or issues within the project context, with status workflows and assignment rules.
• Collaboration tools: Share documents, post updates, and use discussion feeds to keep teams aligned without needing to switch applications.

Tasks and issues can be linked to Zoho CRM deals when project work is tied to specific customer engagements. Zoho Cliq is used for team messaging alongside project activity, and Zoho Meeting can be scheduled directly from within a project context.
