New to Zepel? Welcome!


Starting and managing a project has been hard, until now.


Once you've signed up and created your account, you are only 3 steps away from getting all your projects under control. 


1. Create a Project


A project is where group of members come together to achieve a common goal. Projects in Zepel can represent teams such as Engineering and Data Science.



2. Add Feature inside a Project


A Feature is a collection of users stories, tasks, subtasks, bugs, and enhancements. A project can have multiple features, so you can track everything that’s happening in your project.




NOTE:  Sometimes, you’ll find you need to work on items that don’t belong to a specific feature. For example, product wide tech debts or bugs that aren’t prioritized. These work items can be added into your project’s List (Engineering List, in the above image) and can be worked on either by using Boards or Sprints.



3. Create Items


Items and its types - Stories, Enhancements, Bugs, Tasks, and Subtasks are at the core of Zepel. You can delegate, set deadlines, and track statuses of your work. 


Once you've created a Feature inside your project, start adding related work items into it, so you can keep your team aligned on same page.


  • To change an item's type, right click on the item and select which type you would like to change to.
  • Hit [ Tab ] to turn any item into a Subtask.

Keyboard Shortcuts:

  • Turn any item into a task by typing ' - ' at the beginning of an item.
  • Toggle between item types using Ctrl + Shift + S (or Cmd + Shift + S if you use a Mac).
  • Add a Section to group similar items together by typing ' * ' at the beginning of an item.


Go ahead, start your first project in Zepel. It'll only take a minute to see how effortless it is to start and manage projects in Zepel.
