From approved design to build-ready work.
Kova turns Figma files into structured Jira tickets with acceptance criteria, story points, QA notes, dependencies, and role-specific breakdowns.
Connects across your entire delivery stack
Your agency runs on great people
doing the wrong work.
The handoff tax.
Every sprint, your PM or delivery lead burns four to six hours turning approved designs into Jira tickets. That's 10–15% of weekly capacity gone before a line of code is written.
Scattered status
20 min status hunt
Client-ready update
The visibility gap.
Your client asks, "How's the project going?" Your PM spends twenty minutes pulling status from Jira, Slack, Notion, and memory just to write a clean update. Then they repeat it every week.

The knowledge drain.
Your PM remembers every dependency, decision, and "we agreed the client wanted X." When they roll off the project or leave the agency, that context walks out with them. The next person starts from scratch.
One system across your
entire delivery lifecycle.
From the first Figma frame to the final client update, Kova keeps your delivery moving, structured, visible, and grounded in the context your team actually needs.
One workflow, three client-facing outcomes.
Kova does not stop at ticket generation. It keeps the delivery story connected from internal planning to client-ready specs and weekly updates.
One Sydney agency.
One real project. 4 minutes.
A Sydney software agency had already delivered a real client project manually. Kova structured a complete delivery backlog from the same design in 4 minutes, with more detail across acceptance criteria, QA coverage, dependencies, and role-specific work than the original.

Built around how
agencies actually deliver.
“Before Kova, a senior PM spent three days writing tickets at the start of every sprint. Now it takes forty minutes to review what Kova generates. We've reclaimed that time for actual delivery.”
“The time we save on ticket writing alone has paid for itself. What used to take our PM a full day now gets done before lunch. The team actually has time to think about delivery now.”
“Every time a new PM joined they'd spend weeks rebuilding context on a project. Kova keeps it attached to every ticket. Handovers now take a day, not a fortnight.”
The ticket is the container.
The context is the asset.
The value isn't the ticket. It's the context behind it. What needs to be built, why it matters, what changed, what's missing, what depends on what. Kova captures that context and keeps it attached to the work.
Understands your delivery, not just your designs.
Kova maps work around flows, dependencies, and roles, so your team knows what to build and why, not just what the screens look like.
Eliminates the overhead, not the PM.
Kova removes the repetitive translation work so your delivery lead can focus on scope, sequencing, risk, and client relationships.
Keeps the context alive.
From design to backlog to client update, every important detail stays attached to the work: what changed, what needs testing, what depends on what.
Common questions, answered directly.
What is Kova?
Kova is a delivery intelligence platform built for software and digital agencies. It connects to your Figma workspace, reads your design files, and automatically generates a structured sprint backlog with acceptance criteria, QA test cases, story points, and developer notes in minutes, not hours.
How does Kova turn Figma designs into Jira tickets?
Kova scans your Figma file frame by frame, extracting components, user flows, copy, tokens, and dependencies. It structures each interaction into a sprint-ready ticket using your team's preferred format, mirroring your acceptance criteria style, definition of done, and story structure. Tickets push directly to Jira with descriptions, story points, and assignees already populated.
How long does it take to generate a backlog from a Figma file?
Most projects are complete in under five minutes. In a published benchmark, a Figma file with 48 frames produced 80 structured tickets in four minutes, a process that had previously taken a senior PM five hours to complete manually.
Does Kova learn how my team writes work items?
Yes. Kova imports your last 500 Jira work items and learns the tone, structure, and level of detail your team uses: acceptance criteria format, definition of done, story granularity. The more you use Kova, the more precisely it matches your team's voice and standards.
Does Kova integrate with Jira, Linear, or Asana?
Kova has a native Jira integration. You review and edit tickets inside Kova, then push them directly to your Jira project with all fields populated. Linear and Asana integrations are in active development and coming soon.
Is Kova suitable for agencies of all sizes?
Kova is designed for digital and software development agencies from around 5 to 200 people. It works best when you have a regular cadence of client projects, a Figma-based design process, and a Jira-based delivery workflow.
