I fly into & out of KCI on a semi-regular basis, as it is the closest major airport to where I live. They do a pretty good job of keeping each airline's flights within a single terminal, but codeshare flights are anyone's guess.
27 minutes might be doable, if you have a seat in the front of the plane and let the flight attendants know that you have an extremely tight connection to make. If you're at the back of the plane, you won't make it. If the people who connect the jetways to the planes have problems (about half the time I'm flying, they do), it can take 30 minutes just to find an operator who can figure out how to fix what the original operator did, let alone actually do.
One other thing to be aware of: there is very minimal food & drink inside the secured area. There is 1 small kiosk per set of gates selling sandwiches and fruit, soda pop & bottled water. All restaurants & bars are outside the secured area.
