All the ZOM services and features and development approaches mentioned above also apply to single-person development projects as well. In fact, these can be applied to your advantage anytime development is spread across multiple development environments regardless of the number of people involved.

For example, there are often several versions of an application representing various releases and stages of development. ZOM can be used to co-ordinate changes between these versions.

Another case is an application being developed for several different computer systems. For example, an application being developed for UNIX and Windows simultaneously, with UNIX being the primary development site. The developer(s) can use ZOM to synchronize the two environments using the same methods described above.
