The Best Alternative to ZenHub's Built-in Velocity Charts

ZenHub is the best project management tool for GitHub teams. But ask any Power User, and they’ll tell you the same thing: the built-in reporting can feel a bit... basic.

If you’ve outgrown the native charts, you’re likely looking for an alternative that gives you more control and better visualization.

Why Look for an Alternative?

While ZenHub's charts work for simple teams, they often fall short in:

  • Aesthetics: Native charts are functional but not exactly "presentation ready."
  • Aggregation: It's hard to see data across multiple disconnected workspaces.
  • Speed: Loading complex reports can sometimes be slow in the main interface.
  • Flexibility: You can't easily customize the date ranges or the specific metrics highlighted.

The Top Contender: ZenStat

If you want the depth of ZenHub data but need a modern, beautiful reporting layer, ZenStat is the leading alternative.

Why Teams are Making the Switch:

  1. Beauty by Design: We believe metrics should be inspiring. ZenStat provides high-contrast, professional dashboards that look great on a big screen in the office or in a shared Slack screenshot.
  2. Zero Configuration: Unlike heavy "Business Intelligence" tools that require days of setup, ZenStat connects to your ZenHub API in seconds.
  3. Focused on Agile: We don't try to be everything for everyone. We focus on the metrics that actually matter for Scrum and Kanban teams: Velocity, Completion, and Workload.

Ready for Better Reporting?

You don't have to leave ZenHub to get better reports. ZenStat works alongside your existing workflow to provide the clarity you've been missing.
