This guide introduces the new Analytics experience in Kendis. Analytics helps you understand delivery progress across features, iterations, and teams. It provides charts, summaries, and insights that make it easier to track what is planned, what is delivered, and where risks exist.

What is Enhanced Burndown Analytics?
Analytics is a reporting workspace that shows delivery progress in one place. It helps you track planned versus delivered work, monitor progress across sprints and increments.
You can review feature completion, evaluate team performance, and identify delivery risks early without switching between multiple boards.
Burndown vs Burnup Chart
Analytics allows you to switch between Burndown and Burnup views. These charts show how work progresses across iterations.
Burndown chart
Shows how the remaining work decreases over time.
Helps you see if the team is finishing work as planned.
If the line goes down slowly, delivery may be behind.
Burnup chart
Shows how completed work increases over time.
Also shows the total planned scope.
Helps you see scope changes during execution.
In the Burnup chart, you may see:
Planned line β total planned work.
Actual line β completed work.
Remaining line β work left.
Current iteration highlight β where you are now.
Who Should Use Analytics?
Analytics is useful for:
Role | Use case |
Product Managers | Track feature delivery |
Scrum Masters | Monitor sprint performance |
RTE / Delivery Leads | Review team commitments |
Engineering Managers | Check delivery health |
Leadership | View overall progress |
Accessing Analytics
To open Analytics:
Go to the program board or workspace you want to review.
Click Analytics in the top bar.
First-time use: The view initially opens in a blank state with the message: "Select a data source to view analytics." Select a Burndown Source from the controls bar to begin. Data loads automatically as soon as a valid source and context are selected.
Configuring the Analytics View
You can customise what data is included in Analytics using the Settings icon in the toolbar. Click the settings icon to choose additional data sources for the charts.
You can select fields from:
Common fields.
Jira fields.
WSJF fields.
These fields allow you to group and compare delivery data based on different properties such as card type, assignee, project, labels, or WSJF score.
After selecting the fields, click Done to apply the changes.
Analytics in Kendis provides two main views that help you understand delivery from different perspectives, Feature Analytics and Team Delivery.
Feature Analytics
Feature Analytics shows delivery progress based on features, scope, and iterations. Use this view to understand what was planned, what was delivered, and where the scope changed.
Filters and Controls: You can use the controls at the top to change what data you see. Available filters include burndown source, plan view, display, and settings.
Summary Cards: The summary cards show the current delivery status.
Burndown/Burnup Chart: The chart shows progress across iterations. They are helpful to make sure your delivery is on track.
Iteration Breakdown: The iteration table shows delivery per sprint.
Scope Changes: It shows the work added or removed after planning.
Feature Health Overview: This section shows feature status. You can also group by parent, objective, milestone, team, or label.
Needs Attention: This table lists features that are behind schedule.
Team Delivery
Team Delivery shows progress based on teams instead of features. Use this view to check commitment reliability and team performance.
Filters/Controls: Team Delivery has quite different filters and controls available for more refined team-level analytics.
Summary Cards: The Decards show delivery numbers for teams.
Burndown/Burnup Chart: The chart shows delivery across teams. Useful to detect over-commitment.
Team Health Overview: This table shows performance for each team.
Delivery Gaps: Delivery Gaps shows teams behind commitments.
Scope Changes: This section shows scope changes by team.
Plan View and Iteration Delivery
Some views allow you to change how progress is calculated. You can switch between:
Increment plan view: This view shows progress across the full increment.
Iteration delivery view: It shows delivery sprint by sprint.
Switching the view changes how charts and numbers are calculated.
Estimate vs Count
You can also change how work is measured.
Analytics can show progress using:
Story points: They are useful for delivery tracking.
Number of items: This item count is helpful for workload tracking.
You can switch between these modes using the display controls.
This guide introduced the Enhanced Burndown Analytics workspace and explained how to navigate between Feature Analytics and Team Delivery. In the next guides, we will explore each analytics view in detail, including how to interpret charts, understand delivery metrics, and analyse execution performance.
