Kindor New Experience 2025

Discover the new Kindor experience. In this post, we’ll walk you through what’s new to help you make the most of the product.

New Navigation Experience

This new version of Kindor was designed to make navigation smoother and understanding your metrics easier than ever.

🏠 New Homes for Each Section

We’ve kept almost the same sections as before, but previously, entering a section took you straight into a dashboard,  which sometimes made it unclear what other dashboards were available. 

Now, each section has its own Home, serving as a simple guide to explore all the dashboards available within that area.

Once you’re inside a dashboard, you’ll find a menu in the top right corner that lets you jump to related dashboards while keeping your current filters and context.

Some dashboards also include interactive tables with links that take you to more detailed views of the data.

🔄 Consistent Structure Across Sections

To make the platform more intuitive, we standardized how sections and dashboards are organized.

For example, Coding, Projects, Sprints, and Epics now share the same set of dashboards:

• Team Overview

• Contributor Overview

• Details (Sprint, Epic, Repository, or Project)

• Flow (How work is processed)

🎚️ Smarter and More Flexible Filtering

Every dashboard includes the main filters (like Team or Contributor) at the top, and the time range selector in the top-right corner.

We brought back this flexible time filter after noticing how much users valued being able to explore different date ranges easily.

📊 Dashboards That Are Easier to Understand

Each dashboard now includes a short description at the top, explaining what kind of information you’ll find and what insights you can get from it.

We also unified the structure across all dashboards, making it easier to understand the data presented and quickly locate what you’re looking for.

🧩 Kindor Sections

The product now consists on the following sections:

• Teams

• Contributors

• Projects

• Coding

• Sprints

• Epics

• Kindor Advisor

• Financial Analysis*

• Custom Dashboards*

*Only available in premium plans

👥 Improved Teams Section 

The new version of Teams was designed to provide a clearer, more dynamic, and complete view of your organization’s team performance over time.

This update helps leaders not only understand how their teams are performing today, but also how their key metrics are evolving, making it easier to identify improvements, trends, and areas that need attention.

🧭 Teams Sections Overview

Within the Teams area, you can explore different sections focused on key aspects of team performance and activity:

• List

• Overview

• Coding Activity

• Time Allocation

• Projects

• Sprints

• Epics Focus

• Advisor & Notifications

  
  

Each section provides visibility into the team’s operations, evolution, and outcomes, allowing you to analyze productivity, efficiency, collaboration, and focus from multiple perspectives.

📊 Major Updates in the Team List Section

One of the most significant updates in this release is the redesigned Team List.

In the previous version, this table displayed metrics based on averages per team member, allowing for comparisons between teams regardless of size.

In the new version, the main table now shows metrics by total values within the selected time period. This provides a clearer picture of each team’s overall output and total contribution.

For users who still want to compare teams of different sizes, we added a new Heatmap View, a visualization designed to quickly highlight which teams contribute the most in different KPIs. This view uses average-per-member metrics, ensuring comparisons remain fair and not influenced by team size.

📈 Trend Charts 

We’ve added trend charts to several dashboards in the Teams section to help you track how workload and performance evolve over time.

Shown as weekly averages per team member, they make it easy to spot changes and evaluate the impact of events like AI adoption, team restructures, or new hires through metrics such as tasks completed or PRs created per team member.

👥 Contributors Section

The new Contributors section was designed to help you understand individual performance and contribution patterns across your organization.

It provides visibility into how each person collaborates, contributes, and evolves over time within your tech teams.

Within this section, you can explore the following views:

• Contributors List

• Overview

• Coding Activity

• Time Allocation

• Projects

• Sprints Activity

• Epics Focus

• Notifications

  
  

Each view focuses on individual activity and provides visibility into how every contributor impacts team performance and overall delivery.

📊 Metric Trends and Evolution Over Time

Just like in the Teams section, one of the key updates in Contributors is the ability to visualize metric trends over time for each user.

Now, you can see how each contributor’s metrics evolve monthly, helping you identify improvements, performance drops, or changes in behavior.

🕸️ Contributor Details: Activity Radar and Heatmap

The most important update is within Contributor Details, which now includes two powerful visualizations:

• Activity Radar — a chart that displays how balanced a contributor’s activity is across different dimensions such as code delivery, code reviewing, task completion, meetings, and support. It helps visualize where a person stands compared to the title average.

• Activity Heatmap — a visual distribution of when contributors are most active across the week and the day, helping you understand work patterns and collaboration rhythms.

Together, these new views offer a deeper understanding of how each contributor works, helping leaders identify strengths, coaching opportunities, and engagement levels within their teams.

🏁 Sprints Section: A Clearer Way to Track Progress

Consuming sprint data is now easier than ever. We’ve introduced four dedicated dashboards to help you explore your sprint metrics from different perspectives.

• Completed Sprints: Review your team’s velocity and throughput over time to evaluate how performance evolves across sprints and contributors.

• Sprints in Progress: A single view of all your ongoing sprints to monitor progress and track each contributor’s workload.

• Sprint Details: Dive deep into a specific sprint and compare its performance against the previous one within the same project.

• Contributor Performance:Analyze how contributors perform across multiple sprints to identify trends and opportunities for improvement.

  
  

Sprint Metrics are calculated considering the following:

• Tasks marked as Canceled (Won’t Do, Discarded, Declined, etc.) are ignored.

• Tasks completed before the sprint start date are ignored.

• Tasks completed after the sprint completed date are marked as incomplete.

• If a task has subtasks in the same sprint, we only count the parent. We’ll use the parent task story points if defined, otherwise, the sum of its subtasks points is taken.

• For contributor load, if a contributor has both a parent task and subtasks assigned, only the parent task is counted following the logic described above. However, if the parent task is assigned to one contributor and its subtasks to others, both the parent and the subtasks are counted.

Introducing the Jira Assessment Dashboard

Kindor’s insights are only as good as the data feeding them. Consistent adoption of tools like Jira or Notion has always been a challenge across engineering teams. The new Jira Assessment Dashboard is designed to help you take the first step: evaluate how your team is using your project management tool and understand how reliable and useful the data generated from it truly is.

At a glance, the dashboard evaluates your Jira usage across five critical categories:

• Workflow Hygiene & Predictability: Are your tasks flowing cleanly and reliably through the process?

• Epics Management & Structure: Is your initiative-level planning visible, linked to work, and up to date?

• Delivery Consistency & Execution: Do your sprints run on rhythm, with stable velocity and throughput?

• Story Points Practices: Are you estimating consistently and meaningfully?

• Adoption & Engagement: Are your teams actively using the tool in a balanced and effective way?

  
  

Each category receives a readiness score, supported by key metrics, everything from the percentage of tasks with story points to WIP per contributor, sprint duration variation, and user activity distribution. The higher the score, the more consistent, reliable, and actionable your data is.

For every category, you’ll find:

• A clear insight that explains what the data reveals about your current practices.

• A targeted recommendation outlining specific actions to improve accuracy, consistency, or adoption.

  
  

The assessment is executed on a monthly basis, with data from the last 3 months. 

Whether you’re looking to improve delivery predictability or refining team operations, this dashboard gives you both the diagnosis and the prescription.

Epics Section: Understand Where Effort Is Focused

The Epics section gives you a clear view of where your teams are focusing their work, based on the epic-related tasks they’ve completed.

It helps you answer key questions like:

“What are our main priorities?”

“Where are our engineers spending most of their time?”

You can explore this information at both the team and contributor levels to understand focus distribution across the organization.

This section includes metrics such as the percentage of tasks or story points completed that are linked to epics, which can serve as a great indicator of how much effort is going into planned or roadmap work versus unplanned activities.

Additionally, you’ll find a dedicated Epics Flow dashboard, where you can analyze how long it takes to complete an epic and identify potential bottlenecks in the delivery process.

Projects Section — Understand How Work Gets Done

The Projects section helps you understand how work is being tracked and completed across the different projects within your organization.

You’ll be able to see in detail how work progresses, what types of work are being handled, and how contributors’ activity is distributed among projects.

This section includes some new metrics such as the percentage of tasks completed on time, based on their first defined due date.

Additionally, this section can be very useful to evaluate tech support work. For example, you could filter by service desk projects and see how tickets are being logged and processed, as well as their processing time.

Just like the Epics Flow dashboard, you’ll also find a Tasks Flow dashboard, showing how tasks move through their different statuses, how long they take to complete, and how that varies depending on task complexity.
