Our development team is always working hard, but they have been outrageously busy over the last few weeks, bringing you 32 new features, improvements, and bug fixes. You can expect things to speed up even more from here, because we recently also added a new member to our development team! Please join us in welcoming the talented Jett Raines, who is quickly becoming known at KaiNexus for his great eye for design and flair for tropical shirts. You'll be able to meet him (and the rest of our great development team) at the 2017 KaiNexus User Conference in September!

Here are some of the highlights:

Control Charts

With this latest version of KaiNexus, you can create even better control charts to monitor performance. The best part? You can set the chart generate an alert should the data become out of control. That way, you’ll never miss out on important information.

You can:

• Configure the lower, average, and/or upper limits and pick a color for each.
  
  
• Decide whether you want to have an alert sent to all members of the chart’s team if the data that is entered is out of control.
  
  
• Decide whether you want to make data point markers red if the point is out of control. Note that markers must also be enabled on the data series configuration.

So what happens when data is outside of the control limits? A red exclamation point will be displayed alongside the chart’s name on any list of charts. And if you enabled “Generate Flag,” every member of the chart’s team will get an alert.

KaiNexus is a handy platform because it doesn't force you to use any one methodology for your improvement work. As such, we have people using our system to support a wide variety of improvement work. One practice we see a lot is using KaiNexus to support improvement-related certification classes. 

I briefly touched on the Project Curve in a previous blog post, but this Report is so important that I felt it prudent to give you a more comprehensive explanation.

The Project Curve Report lets you assess the growth of your improvement over time by tracking the start and end rates of your organization’s Projects.

Typically, Improvements and Projects will have different traits. In most organizations, there will be fewer Projects than Improvements. It is also typical for Projects to take longer to be completed than it does Improvements. 

We have found that organizations that tie Projects directly to their strategic goals are often more successful than those that don’t. It also seems to be advantageous for your organization’s Projects to have a practical cycle time; if it takes too long for Projects to be completed, people may lose motivation.

Our development team is comprised of some of the busiest people I know. They’ve been hard at work in the past few weeks to bring you 24 new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Here are some of the highlights:

The Notifications & Updates Screen

We’ve been working on incrementally improving the Notifications Screen for a while now, and I think we’ve nailed it! The new Notifications Screen is great because it lets you control what kind of information should be displayed:

• Yours: These are notifications that you’ve received due to your association with the item - i.e. those for which you’re on the team.
  
  
• Opt-In: These are notifications that you’ve received due to a notification preference that was either configured by you or as part of one of your Roles.
  
  
• Comments & “Blue Dot” Updates: These are comments and any timeline updates that have been added since the last time you viewed an item.
