What is Kudos

Agile Analytics allows you to see with easy-to-use leaderboards who tops the charts and who is shared in the celebration.

By measuring the Kudos given in communication platforms like Slack, Discord or Microsoft Teams you can see if successes are celebrated and shared.

Give your team members kudos and track who complimented others with Kudos. Measuring aspects like celebration and cooperation creates a safe and fun atmosphere. When teams share successes, the teams are more engaged and productive.

How are Kudos counted?

You can choose multiple emojis and use all of them, part or only one to give kudos to somebody.

Let’s imagine we have set up these emojis as Kudos:

Here are some examples of how Kudos will be counted.

Case 1. Kudo Emoji in the message which tags a person

Messages like these will make to @somebody +3 kudos. (in both cases).

But the last message will add for @somebody only 1 kudo.

Case 2. Reacting to a message with a Kudo Emoji

Somebody reacted with a Kudo Emoji to this message:

The reaction will reward the Zen Bot player account with +1 kudos.

Case 3. Reacting to a message which tags another user

Let’s imagine you want to give kudos to the Zen Bot player:

Doing it as a reaction to a message, where a Zen Bot player has tagged @somebody won’t work properly. In this case, Bot will give a kudo to @somebody, not to the Zen Bot player.

Here is another example:

In this case, @somebody and @someone will get +1 extra Kudo each because of the avocado reaction.
