Kine has been designed to help engineering teams who meet the following criteria.
Project management tools are vital for organizing work in engineering organizations, mostly tailored for product managers and scrum masters. They serve not just in planning but also in communicating the team's progress. However, while valuable for coders and testers, these tools often fall short in delivering readily accessible, action-oriented information. Team members find themselves sifting through data to find what they need, lacking daily plans, progress updates, and reports that could enhance focus and reflection.
A critical gap in these tools is their failure to signal emerging risks, deviations, and other urgent issues in real-time. This leaves individual team members without the necessary alerts to respond promptly. Moreover, the tools’ status reporting tends to be one-dimensional, focusing mainly on timeliness. They overlook equally crucial aspects such as quality, security, maintainability, and compliance.
When issues do surface, pinpointing their causes and planning corrective actions become challenging. This difficulty arises because relevant data is often scattered across various third-party tools, without automatic synchronization with the project management system. Additionally, many of these tools haven’t adopted modern metrics like DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment), crucial for measuring team effectiveness and performance.
For engineering leaders, these limitations suggest a pressing need for more sophisticated, integrated tools that not only streamline planning and progress tracking but also provide comprehensive, multidimensional insights and real-time alerts to empower every team member.
Kine supports below tools.
We’re committed to expanding our integration portfolio and prioritizing new additions based on customer usage. The timeline for integrating additional tools will depend on the integration capabilities offered by these third-party platforms. This approach ensures that Kine Capsule continually adapts to the evolving needs of engineering teams, providing a versatile and dynamic toolset that aligns with your preferred technologies.
Kine Capsule stands out with its tailor-made approach, offering alerts, nudges, risks, and notifications that align perfectly with your team’s specific processes and improvement goals. Here’s a glimpse of the flexibility and customization it brings to engineering leaders:
This level of customization means Kine Capsule can evolve with your team, supporting a dynamic and effective engineering environment tailored to your specific objectives and workflows.
Kine uses AWS Postgres RDS for storing metadata/DevOps client data. We enforce strict AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies to assign permissions that determine who is allowed to manage and connect Amazon RDS resources. Security groups are set to control what IP addresses or Amazon EC2 instances can connect. Amazon RDS encryption is enabled to secure DB instances and snapshots at rest.
Kine does not store or pull the code from SCM. we only take the DevOps data i.e. details on commits/issues/deployment/coverage, etc.
Kine Capsule is meticulously crafted to foster high-performance teams underpinned by a generative culture. At its core, Kine Capsule embodies the philosophy that every team, regardless of their current performance level, has the potential for continual improvement. It achieves this through a suite of carefully designed features:
Each of these elements serves a singular purpose: to facilitate reflection on past work and strategize enhancements for future endeavours. Kine Capsule recognizes the diverse needs of different teams, allowing the flexibility to activate or deactivate specific alerts. This ensures that every team feels comfortable and empowered, tailoring the experience to their unique journey towards excellence. Kine Capsule is not just a tool; it's a catalyst for continuous growth and a partner in achieving peak team performance.
