Verdict: I like that zipBoard can function as a bug tracking and design feedback tool that is extremely helpful when creating tasks, organizing projects, and tracking user activity. The members of my team use this tool for prioritizing assignments, adding tags or labels, and checking the status of projects.
As a photographer, I use zipBoard a lot. It helped me to smoothly organize my workflow and allowed my clients to be involved in a project (regardless of their or my location) to feel more secure.
Besides, this tool is user-friendly, meaning it is suitable even for people without any technical experience. I also use it as time management software.
zipBoard is a great option for specialists who are involved in developing websites, web applications, e-learning courses, videos, PDF documents, and more. This tool is also a good choice for teams seeking effective ways to speed up the digital development process. zipBoard is fitted with an application programming interface (API), meaning that it can successfully function with such third-party programs as JIRA and Slack.
zipBoard allows annotating tasks, adding comments, taking screenshots, sending screenshots, and has a centralized platform for discussing projects. It lets supervisors manage and check the completion of any task by getting email and in-app project update notifications. Besides, zipBoard is fitted with handy search instruments for navigating through projects, boards, and assignments.
As contact management software, zipBoard facilitates the interaction between team members so that they can discuss a project any time needed, create annotations, comment on tasks, allocate assignments, report bugs, etc. The tool simplifies the product creation workflow, because you don’t have to deal with emails, spreadsheets, video calls, etc.
It is great that by using zipBoard visual and bug tracking for digital content tool, I can:
zipBoard facilitates the interaction between team members. There is a separate platform, where developers, testers, designers, and other professionals can collaborate in a convenient manner. The number of users who work on a task is unlimited.
My colleagues can receive automatic notifications whenever a problem is detected or resolved. Besides, users can send an email or direct messages to other participants. In such a way, all project developers receive constant updates and stay informed of the status of their work.
zipBoard allows importing my mock-ups and prototypes as screenshots so that other team members can leave their comments. An online review platform is great for live websites.
Collaborators who employ e-learning authoring instruments can just import their SCORM files into zipBoard. Besides, who creates an interface and UX can test them on different screen sizes only using their browsers and PC. The tool also allows adding comments for annotating the entire elements or some parts.
The review boards are great for reporting bugs. This bug tracking software offers a simple task management algorithm so even beginners can grasp what is what. Besides, a project supervisor can utilize the task manager for systematizing reported issues. The tool allows tracking the assigned team members, the priority, and the status of a task. You can also export issues as CSV files for a more thorough examination.
After a client has reported bugs, team members can identify the issue easily and determine the environment it affects. zipBoard provides all the necessary info using screenshots and environment details for reproducing bugs. Besides, you can instantly reproduce the shared feedback without requesting a screen share call.
I like that adding actionable tasks before or during the review process is a breeze. The tool allows setting priorities, allocating assignments to some team members, and attaching screenshots to any assignment added to a project. The functionality of zipBoard also allows filtering issues, taking into consideration bug report fields. You can also conceal or display fields and edit multiple tasks at once for more convenience.
The platform is compatible with various e-Learning and authorizing tools, including Articulate, Captivate, Lectora, Adapt, Elucidourat, Spring, custom HTML solution, SCORM content, and more. Another advantage is the possibility to test and review linear and non-linear courses for numerous devices simultaneously.
