Redesigning to surface product value faster

I recently pushed an update to Noora (noorahq.com), where I redesigned the admin portal to help surface the product value faster (support desk plus feature voting and roadmaps... think Intercom + Canny).

Before I had separate tabs for each section, but now you can see directly on the sidebar the sections for your help articles, and all of your feature voting boards.

What do you think? Do you have nice examples that show how a redesign helped guide users to the value of your product faster?
