Hello Product Hunt! I'm excited to share OKR Dash - an online dashboard for tracking your Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). It has a few simple goals:
1) Be the simplest and easiest-to-use OKR management tool out there. I've used plenty in the past as a software engineer and product manager at different companies, and none of them were quite right for me. They were too complex, too clunky, too limiting and didn't really fulfil the goal of OKRs: to create clarity and alignment.
2) Act as a single source of truth. The real value of OKRs comes from firstly having everyone align on key outcomes and stating them publicly, and secondly from tracking progress towards that so teams can ruthlessly focus and pivot where necessary. OKRs must be super clear and open for that to happen.
3) Support the way that *YOU* do OKRs, since everyone does them a little differently. I've tried to create a flexible structure that allows for small teams or entire departments to accurately reflect how the OKRs cascade across the org, with things like different KR types depending on what works for you.
You might be thinking... "why do I need a tool for this, a spreadsheet is fine?!" and in some cases I'd agree. But in most cases spreadsheets or slides or docs have some drawbacks and missed opportunities:
- More manual effort to create the sheet each quarter, get the formatting right, faff with merged cells, borders, inconsistent background colours and so on. OKR Dash takes away all this pain instantly with a simple to use interface and beautiful visualisations.
- A new sheet every quarter means docs scattered about the org so finding this quarter's OKRs is hard (let alone 2 quarters ago!). Sheets are in different places in the shared drive and teams rely on copy / pasting the right link. And don't even get me started on access permissions... (I'm looking at you Sharepoint!). OKR Dash centralises everything so there's one place to see all OKRs together.
- You might have multiple separate sheets (eg different departments, or company-level OKRs) so cross-referencing OKRs to see where multiple teams are working together is hard. Plus visibility across the org is limited and that massively harms the usefulness of OKRs overall. OKR Dash gives a joined up view across the org so everyone has a clear view of what's happening.
- Recording progress updates is clunky in a spreadsheet. Should they go in comments on the cells, or in another tab? How can stakeholders easily get a sense of what's happened in the last 2 weeks? Spoiler alert: they can't. OKR Dash supports detailed progress updates at the KR level which can be aggregated and quickly viewed to catch up.
- OKR Dash provides different views of your OKRs so you can drill down into the detail of updates to individual key results and also see a dashboard visualisation of overall progress for big screens or stakeholder updates. People can zoom in or out to get the information they need way easier than with a spreadsheet.
Anyway, if you can't tell yet, I think a tool like OKR Dash is a vast improvement over just using spreadsheet! :)
I'm super excited to launch OKR Dash and share with this community. Please have a go with it, and let me know what you think and how I can make it better. Thanks
