How Kitsu Helps You With Training & Adoption

"Our Team Won’t Adopt Another Tool"

The Real Risk Isn’t the Software. It’s Adoption.

Most production tracking failures don’t happen because of missing features.

They happen because:

  • Artists don’t use the tool.
  • Supervisors revert to spreadsheets.
  • Producers maintain parallel systems.
  • Training was rushed or unclear.

Kitsu is designed to reduce resistance — not create it.


Designed for Artists, Not Just Producers

Kitsu focuses on clarity and usability.

  • Clean, readable interfaces
  • Simple task views
  • Clear status workflows
  • Minimal configuration overhead

Artists should understand what to do in seconds — not after a 2-hour onboarding session.

When a tool feels intuitive, adoption happens naturally.


Structured Onboarding for Every Role

We don’t treat “the studio” as one block.

Different roles need different training:

  • Producers: project structure, reporting, planning
  • Supervisors: review flows, validation, approvals
  • Artists: task updates, uploads, feedback loops
  • Technical teams: API and automation

We provide live onboarding sessions and role-based guidance to ensure everyone knows exactly what matters to them.


Progressive Rollout

Adoption improves when change is staged.

Instead of switching everything overnight, many studios:

  • Start with one project
  • Pilot with one department
  • Train team leads first
  • Expand gradually

This approach builds internal champions who help the rest of the team transition smoothly.


Documentation That People Actually Use

Training doesn’t end after onboarding.

Kitsu provides:

  • Clear written documentation
  • Searchable knowledge base
  • Tutorial videos
  • Practical examples

New hires can onboard themselves without requiring senior staff to repeat explanations.


Support During the Transition

Change creates questions.

During rollout, we remain available to:

  • Answer workflow questions
  • Adjust configurations
  • Clarify best practices
  • Help production leads refine processes

The goal is not just to install software — it’s to stabilize usage.


Reducing Fear of Change

When teams resist new tools, it’s usually because they fear:

  • Losing time
  • Breaking their workflow
  • Being monitored
  • Increased complexity

Kitsu is structured around clarity and collaboration — not control.

It centralizes communication, reduces email noise, and eliminates spreadsheet duplication.

Most teams feel relief once the transition is complete.


Adoption Is a Design Principle

Kitsu was built specifically for animation and VFX studios.

That means:

  • Familiar production structures
  • Clear shot and asset hierarchies
  • Real-world workflow logic
  • Focused feature set (not overwhelming toolboxes)

The result: faster learning curves and higher adoption rates.


A Tool Everyone Actually Uses

The return on investment of a production tracker only happens when everyone uses it.

Our goal is simple:

From artist to producer to supervisor — everyone should feel comfortable on day one.

Change doesn’t have to be painful.

With the right structure, it becomes an upgrade.
