What’s New in Orangescrum SaaS Project Management Tool- June 2019

Its summer! And we continued with our efforts to make our customers work more fun so that they make more time for vacation and family time.

2. A Real-Time, 2-Way Sync between Google Calendar and Orangescrum:

Google Calendar lets you organize your schedule and share events with team members and friends. With Google’s free online calendar, it’s easy to keep track of your daily schedule.

Its ease of use and Google Calendar integration was the most requested feature that came out of feedback from our users, and we decided to build it with our Project Management Software.

With the integration, you can sync all your projects & tasks with Google Calendar. Similarly, if you create any event, or you make any changes in Google Calendar those will instantly be reflected in Orangescrum – SaaS Project Management Tool and vice versa.
