Here are the things that often surprise people who come to ZARMS from other project management tools. None of them are missing features. They’re intentional. Each linked article explains why.

Boards instead of projects

ZARMS has no “project” unit. The container for related cards is a board. Create boards for whatever you want to group: a department, a client engagement, recurring work, and so on. ZARMS isn’t only about tracking project progress. It aims to be a database that connects your work, linking everyday work together. So we avoid words that suggest only fixed-term projects. It’s a place to lay out cards, so we call it a board. To create one, see Create a board.

What ZARMS doesn’t have

ZARMS doesn’t currently have these features:
  • An in-app text editor: Write descriptions in Google Docs.
  • Password sign-in: Sign in with a Google account.
  • Custom statuses or workflow settings: There are six fixed statuses.
  • Nested boards: You can’t put a board inside a board. Only cards can be parent and child (within the same board).

Matching terms

Here are common terms from other tools and their closest ZARMS equivalents. For what each ZARMS term means, see the Glossary.
