New Integrations, Dashboards and capabilities available at Kindor
Google Meet Integration
We previously supported an integration with Google Calendar to measure the time spent in meetings per week and have an overview of the main meetings a team and a contributor had, however, this was not always an accurate metric, since having a meeting in the calendar doesn't always meant that you attended the meeting.
Now we are proud to introduce our new Google Meet Integration. With this new integration you'll not only get the real time spent in scheduled meetings, but also track all that time spent on meetings that were not part of your calendar, like quick catchups or meetings you were requested to attend on last minute. This new integration will be specially useful for remote teams, since most of their meetings are held through video calls.
Our Google Meet integration also comes with new metrics that will let you track your team's Deep work (spaces of 2 or more hours free of meetings), Fragmented (Spaces of 30 minutes or less between meetings) and Out of Office time. As well as the meetings efficiency (started and ended on time), punctuality and attendance rate.
An Improved Kindor Advisor with more notifications available
We understand that every tech leader has a very busy day and may not have time to navigate through all our dashboards to detect positive or negative patterns, that's why we are putting a lot of effort on taking the most relevant information to the tools you frequently use, like Slack.

DORA Metrics Improvements
We made multiple improvements to our DORA Metrics section, which include:
Clear Category Definitions: We now clearly display what each category means (Elite, High, Medium, Low) with a helpful legend, and thresholds are shown on the weekly graph!
Deployments List Added: You can now view all deployments in a dedicated section, making it easier to track changes.
Incidents List Added: A new section showcasing the list of incidents has been added, giving you a clearer overview of what’s happening.
New MTTR Section – Time by Bucket: A brand-new section has been introduced in MTTR, featuring two powerful metrics: Time to Acknowledge (TTA) and Time to Resolve (TTR), giving you deeper insights into response and resolution times!
TTA: This represents the moment from discovery until a developer starts working on the solution. It measures how long it takes for the issue to be acknowledged and actioned.
TTR: This represents the time from when the developer starts working until the issue is resolved. It focuses on the actual work being done to fix the issue.
New Visualizations and Dashboard improvements
At Kindor, we are constantly looking for ways to make the data more understandable and have visualizations that allow you to quickly spot opportunity areas. That's why we made significant improvements in the Summary, Coding Details and Task Details dashboards.
Now you'll find new visualizations, additional filters and sections within the dashboards targeting specific purposes, like story points analysis or Pull Request Sizes.
Code Reviews Details
We have included a new dashboard to perform a detailed analysis regarding the way contributors are performing code reviews.
You'll be able to track metrics like, the number of Pull / Merge Requests assigned, approved and reviewed, the type of review comments left and the Pull Request review time.
Contributor Benchmarks & Activity Scores
A new dashboard has been introduced to let you perform analysis of your team members, comparing them against the organization, division and role median, 25th percentile or 75th percentile. This can help you to quickly identify areas of opportunity for your contributors as well as people with high activity within your teams.
Based on all the metrics monitored by Kindor, we have created an fully customizable activity score. So that you can easily identify activity patterns across your developers.
Please get in touch with us if you wish to take advantage of this score and adapt it to your specific needs.
Raw Data Available
We know that every organization has its own unique way of leveraging data. While we've designed our product to cover the most common scenarios and supercharge your engineering team's productivity, we understand there might be some specific needs we haven't captured yet.
That's why, now, we allow you to access the Raw Data we use to create all the visualizations you see in our product.
You can order, filter and download the data as CSV so that you can perform additional analysis on your own.
We can't wait to see what new insights you can uncover with this!
