The customer service and support team, as well as others in the organization, had worked with me for an extended period of time, from the very beginning when I had first proposed the adoption of the product, all the way up until recently, when we were able to get all of the logistics coordinated and confirm the roll-out timeline and strategy. They have been nothing but helpful throughout and have walked me through every question or concern that I had, with patience and responsiveness. They set up cadence meetings with our organization to ensure that we were getting the most out of the product, and were patient with us as we brought into the discussion the members of the organization that were key to ensuring a successful global roll-out. Beyond this, it's just a top-tier, simplified, but perfectly balanced and customizable implementation of an OKR tracking platform. If I'm being honest, I think it's an absolute steal, when you compare it to the alternatives on the market, which - honestly - even if we budgeted enough to obtain those expensive alternatives... I'd probably have still chosen OKRBoard.

One of the biggest things that kept drawing us back to OKR Board, when considering our options, was that it intuitively made sense to everyone we showed it to. We wanted something that didn't introduce a brand new platform that would be difficult to integrate into our existing ecosystem, but also still offered a valuable means of managing OKR maintenance, tracking, and reporting, to facilitate the entire organization adopting an OKR-based system of measuring and striving for success. OKR Board was clear as the best contender for this purpose, when considering all aspects: features, cost, and support/service.

The only area that we've noticed that we'd like to see a bit more improvement on is the amount of available reporting features. We'd like to see additional means of generating and presenting valuable reports for all levels of the organization. The dashboards and the ability to use JQL to query OKR items assists with this, but I believe that the product would benefit greatly by including some high-value, high-impact reports that can be generated and delivered as-is, or with customizations.

OKR Board for Jira Cloud seamlessly integrates with our workflow, turning Jira into a goal-setting powerhouse. The automatic progress tracking and intuitive visuals keep everyone aligned and motivated. Seeing company, group, and individual OKRs side-by-side fosters transparency and accountability. We've ditched external tools and haven't looked back. OKR Board is a game-changer for our company's focus and success. We were first introduced to this app years ago when we went looking to implement OKRs on our Data Center instance. Our leadership and team members were able to get started with very little training.

OKR Board for Jira is an overall great app that allows our teams to treat OKR's as their own entities vs nested as a Jira issue within the ecosystem. Not all of our KR's warrant a Jira issue and this app allows for that flexibility.

The only thing that we least like is being about to set a negative objective for KRs. We had to rewrite a couple of our KR's as greater than 10% vs less than 90%.

Our whole company was forced to start using it and it was extremely painful to coordinate with all teams to get there.

The alignment view makes it easy to navigate through objectives

It is super difficult to manage, from an UX perspective, moving objectives around is cumbersome. Difficult to find the right parent once looking, it is slow when searching, it does not support proper comments, it generally takes a lot of work to maintain.

It is a great add-on to have to create and control all objetives and key results for any type of company.

It is a very intuitive add-on, it allows you to create objectives underneath objectives with their own key result. Being in a company with a big objective ladder due to the areas, it gave us the freedom to create as many as needed to represent all the different areas and teams.

When we create lots of sub-levels the value does not add up into the main objective.

So far, our overall experience has been VERY positive. We were able to get up and running immediately; however, it is easy to use it in a way that is not necessarily the intended design...and not know it. I was getting values that didn't make sense so I searched their Confluence pages for my issue. Eventually I had to open a support ticket. The support team was AMAZING! They were patient and provided screenshots to detail how I should have set our organization up. Now that the changes are in place, I am seeing the expected values and I'm looking forward to training our teams on how to use the tool.

The UX is very nice, and the feature set is pretty much what we currently need. Once we get settled, I'm sure we'll use more features that it offers - like the Roadmap feature. Getting started was incredibly easy! You can find the status of your OKRs in multiple places. You can nest Objectives and you can apply weights to your OKRs...that's HUGE for us!! Finally, this tool is the ONLY one that we trialed that has a Jira Dashboard Gadget...THANK YOU!

Mainly three things:1. The General Dashboard pretty useless. You want to click the summary tiles and drill down into the data, but you cannot. Instead, you need to use the Performance Report to really see what you want. Again, however, the UX makes you think you can click the summary tiles on the Performance Report...but you cannot and you have to use the clickable links in the data set below the tiles to get into the data.2. When you get started, there is nothing that clearly defines how you should use Groups. We thought we could use them to show the overall percent-complete of all OKRs if we assigned a departmental group to every OKR. As it turns out, this tool was designed to use a departmental Objective to accomplish this need. But there was nothing that clearly showed you how to do that...or why it was necessary.3. The Confluence page for support didn't help me with any of the questions I had. For example, if you search for "How to use Groups", none of the returns are helpful. Likewise, searching for "Reports" or "Reporting" will provide you with no help. So, the Confluence page could use a lot of work.

OKR Board made it easier to set up and follow up on our OKR.

I like the revamped GUI. It's easy to get an overview of how your team's OKR are progressing. The GUI works well.Nice integration with existing Jira tickets.

GUI updates are a tad slow. I (still) miss a bulk update function, for instance update the due dates for 100 OKRs all at once, or after copying an OKR from one team member to someone else, change all assignees at once. These operations are very time-consuming.Also, when using a Jira ticket as a KR, the grade can be 0 or 100%, there is no space for partial progress.

After working with OKRs for two years on the management level, we started bringing the concept to more and more teams with the help of OKR Board for JIRA. We made sure to set up only few levels and few goals in order to create focus and aligment. Theat requirens a lot of communication between the teams and the levels. The board and it's options to filter the relevant information while still showing how they align is very useful for that.

1.) The alignment view allows to visualize which OKRs (e.g., on team level) contribute to OKRs on the company level. Progress on the lower levels automatically shows on the higher levels if definied as such. 2.) Teams can share OKRs by contributing with individual KRs each pointing to the same objective. That enhances the strategy alinment throughout the whole organization.3.) OKR can be linked to tasks in JIRA. That helps to monitor if your everyday work really contributes to your goals.

The new options for custom dashboards in the app are quite cool, but currently they can not yet be shared with other users. We use the confluence-add on to monitor filtered sets of OKRS in shared dashboards for each team until that's the case.

The handling is pretty intuitiv. The management of KPI is easy.

It's a little bit expensive. The interaction with Jira could be more intensiv.

It's easy to use and implement, and provides alignment with goals to R&D stakeholders. Also, once implementing timelines, the gantt view really helps.

Filters can be improved, as if you select timeline H1, you don't see items marked with only Q1. Reporting would be great, for example, to see pies and charts based on labels provided.

Very happywoth the work done by [sensitive content hidden], as I could book a meeting with them.

I'm absolutely delighted with the application! The assistance provided by [sensitive content hidden] has been invaluable, and I'm thrilled with the continuous improvement of the app. The overall experience has exceeded my expectations. Thank you for your dedication to enhancing user satisfaction.

It needs more costumization and implementmore features, but they are working on it!

We are solving our strategic framework and seeing our gaps and trying to focus that we could missed.

We implement our strategy framework into it and start using from the first date. It is very beneficial to be able to see the our framework from high level to deepest KPI. Employees can easily see whatever information they want to see within the scope of their responsibilities.

Some performance problems: slowdowns after using for a certain period of time. (30 mins average) We believe this is because of about the browser cache.

OKR Board helps us to visualize our objectives and we can follow up their progress easily. Low effort needed and easy UX. We use it on different levels within the company.

We don't have a negative experience with OBoard.

Happy user/admin, will continue to use it. Would be great if you could work on the usability, especially the part about managing all things in one tool and avoid having to open more tabs. Many of us don't get that right away.

+ Easy to use+ Runs smoothly+ Easy to explain

- Integration of tasks (issues) below key results is tricky. It is necessary to do many clicks to get from the OKR board to the task and move it to next column/step in the process. Would be better if everything would be managed in one view, not a new tab for each task- from day 1 all indicators are red; naturally you're not going to fulfill all objectives right away; teams are confused that their key results lack behind. Should look less critical- The overview gets cluttered real fast when opening company objectives, team objectives, key results and initiatives. We are a small team but the view is impossible to keep track off when opening everything. We use filters but a bit more order would be great

In general, we find it suitable enough for our needs, but particular customizations are tricky.

We use it to track our company's objectives per quarter. The tool allows us to hierarchically define and track all our most important goals.

We have found it very confusing to use (UI/UX) and customize.

I like the ease of use, the design and the way you can link Objectives and Key Results and Jira issues. I use it in my team, but also I always recommend it to our clients who are using Jira and would like to streamline OKR tracking and evaluation, and have great transparency.

There are minor improvements that can be done to multiple linkage, and what is great is that Oboard team is getting in touch and trying to implement changes.

Good experience

User friendly and easy to navigate and understand

cannot save default filters if you are not admin

- the tool is very well connected with OKRs Framework- insightful dashboards- nice UI/UX experience

There are no significant downsides.
