GitHub Projects vs ZenHub

Both bring Agile project tracking directly into GitHub for developer-led teams, avoiding a disconnected PM tool. The split is in depth: GitHub Projects is a fully native, built-in board and table system with custom fields, while ZenHub layers dedicated sprint planning on top of GitHub issues and pulls in integrations that reach beyond engineering, like Salesforce and HubSpot.
