The top 4 reasons Jeff loves WorkBoard are:
The whole organization now knows what’s important from top to bottom. They know what’s important to me and what they’re doing to achieve those objectives — all of our work in the company is organized inside of WorkBoard. With the mobile app, OKRs and status are visible anytime and anywhere and the data is clear: the more people focus on their goals, the more they achieve.
Where other tools are hard to roll out, the team’s response to WorkBoard was “cool tool.” Instead of laboriously tracking work through Excel or assigning tasks back and forth via email, we now organize work and projects in WorkBoard both within and across functions — and adoption was much faster than expected.
With clear and transparent OKRs, our team now aligns work to strategic objectives instead of prioritizing based on meetings on their calendar or the last email they received. Priorities are now determined by goals and target results for the quarter. Everyone can see what the deliverables are, the current status, full discussion, notes and documents all in one place. Collaboration is much easier and people have transparency. Because OKRs are visible across the board, teams engage in fun, friendly competition to achieve more.
The WorkBoard 1on1 feature provides the framework for more frequent discussions between managers and employees. A cool visualization prompts both manager and employee to talk about levels of engagement, performance, and alignment and quickly address gaps.
