Why do I want an issue tracking software?
As your business expands and teams get larger, there is a bigger margin for errors as issues can get overlooked or may slip through. When work gets more complex, simply listing down bugs on a sheet and sending them across mail may not suffice. To help your team focus on the right questions, and fix and close issues successfully, there should be complete visibility into the issue tracking process.
That's what we aim to give you with the Zoho Projects Issue tracker. Categorize your issues properly, track them closely, create comprehensive reports, carry out timely escalations, and automate actions and alerts to make your bug tracking process truly effective.
