KONA

Combining Our Team’s Tools

Haiku’s work was split across Asana, Linear, and Notion. Three tools meant three sets of accounts, and three places for the truth to drift apart. None of them knew anything about the training content Haiku actually ships, and none of them could be handed to the organizations already on Haiku’s platform.

Built Around the Organization

KONA is a project manager built around our organization’s needs. Robust collaboration features and shortcuts to shave seconds and minutes out of every action. Our team builds lots of Haiku lessons, which have dozens of steps and quality control passes. We needed a centralized tool to monitor progress, review, and deploy. Kona delivered on this.

One Sign-In

KONA has no separate account system. A session on play.haikuinc.io is already a session in KONA—no second login, and no second list of people to keep in sync.

One account, one source of truth, next to the work it describes.

KONA Docs

The second half replaced Notion. KONA Docs is a collaborative editor built on TipTap and Yjs, with real-time co-editing and version history. References run both ways between documents and project work: a doc can point at the work items, projects, and milestones it describes, and those items point back. Because KONA sits inside the Haiku platform, a doc can also reference the training content itself, including Forge lessons and learning paths, so the plan for a lesson sits right next to the lesson.

What Happened

KONA replaced Asana, Linear, and Notion inside Haiku, and it is used company-wide. It is also offered to every organization on the Haiku platform for its own project management, with the same sign-in its people already use for training.
