It may not be evident at first sight, but something both OKRs and Agile methodologies have in common is the goal to bridge the gap between strategy and execution and improve adaptability. With that in mind, there are ways you can leverage best practices from both methodologies to accelerate progress.
You’ve just discovered OKRs. But how do you start? All the information, resources and rules for implementation might overwhelm you. And what if you’re one of those who quickly figure out how to start but have a tough time really mastering this powerful goal-setting methodology? Do not despair! The key is to follow OKRs best practices.
In the “A tale of two kings” series, we aim to provide thought-provoking insights into goal setting and compare OKRs to alternative methods. In the first part, we’re going to explore what OKRs and 4DX are and how are they different from each other.
Our new Codeless Insights will take the code-heavy burden off your shoulders – you now need zero coding skills to generate valuable business insights and track your progress. You can use a query builder to get the exact Insight you need, and your data-fueled metrics will then be visualized with automatic UI.
There’s now a way for teams to see the big picture and know how exactly what they bring on board. Gtmhub now allows users to choose a different way for objective progress calculation – you will now be able to measure higher-level objective progress based on all aligned sub-objectives.
How to keep all people aligned? Should Company X be implementing the new strategy initially only within the C-Suite or a focus group involving department leads is required? What kind of resources do you need to ensure a smooth strategy transformation: a professional coach, extensive training, what else?
Gtmhub launches its channel program to support companies looking to provide enterprise-grade management software that easily integrates with over 150+ leading integrations, and communications tools that channel partners typically already offer as part of their services.
Automated reminders in our favorite collaboration platforms are now an essential workplace perk – they have become a key factor in keeping a smooth workflow between individuals and teams, as well as boosting productivity.
Earlier this year, we set out on a mission to democratize OKRs through the release of our START plan. Our goal was simple – provide access to software that would enable OKRs in business around the world, with as little friction as possible. Today, we are excited to announce two changes that improve the way businesses
Dreams with Deadlines is a podcast by the makers of Gtmhub. Every other week, you’ll hear stories from ambitious people who are trying to make a mark in the world with their teams.
Until now custom fields were only available for Objectives, Key Results and Key Results updates. But then we were like “What would make Gtmhub users even more insightful?”. So, we have now added more custom properties on top of our standard fields!
Versioning is critical because Insights, much like a Google doc, may undergo a lot of revisions or modifications by different people. It is helpful to get an insight into your Insights! With this new perk, you can ensure that your Dynamic KRs and Insightboards are sourced with the most accurate data.
Gtmhub has recently successfully completed a SOC 2 ® Type I Audit examination for our OKR Management SaaS system. Gtmhub’s policies, procedures and infrastructure were assessed by the international business advisory firm Skoda Minotti.
Administrators are enabled to add and customize avatars or upload pictures. The avatar can be an image, a photo of the team, caricature, themed – whatever the team agrees on. Think of avatars as a great way to create a team ‘brand’.
As promised, we have brought Insights to the Gtmhub Marketplace! Hooray! You are now able to install exemplary pre-configured Insights and directly connect them to your OKRs with just a few simple steps.
Now you can not only analyze your data and get answers from it immediately, but also export your Insightboard and turn into a PDF business report. What’s more, this also applies to our useful Performance & Process reports.
We cannot stress enough the importance of regular OKRs updates. Rather than simply talk the talk, we’re walking the walk. We’ve introduced Delta Values – % difference in progress from the end of the previous cadence to your current value. Again, we want to make your life easier!
You know that earlier this year we introduced the industry-first Marketplace to help you ‘quick-start’ and successfully maintain an OKR process at your organization. And you remember how we promised to open the platform to contributors? We did just that.
For Q2, we are almost doubling down on delivering value by planning 47 significant releases. Hence – we call it “Gtmhub: Exponential Edition.”
Nowadays, we are enjoying beautiful and structured sets of data that can easily be turned into insights through various system integrations. What for? So, we make informed decisions and prepare for the future. This particularly applies to the corporate world. Reports are essential for any businesses regardless of size and industry.
Gtmhub has hundreds of useful integrations that automatically pull data in and then turn it into meaningful insights. We have some more for you! We’re now introducing a new batch of connectors: for Excel Online, Intercom, Basecamp and a second volume for Asana.
Here, we’ll discuss some of the fundamentals of OKRs creation, including how to craft an effective engineering OKR. We’ll also provide OKR examples for inspiration at all levels of the engineering team: individuals, managers and the entire team.
Originally developed at Intel and now used by companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook, OKRs have a proven track record of getting results for large-scale enterprises.
Instead of working directly with the 3rd party data source, you can now make your Insights work with Virtual Data Sources, which can contain complex logic, aggregate various data sources and do any data preparation at one single place.
We understand that you need some OKR examples to spark creativity and set your goals effectively. But even that isn’t enough. To solve your quick start problem, we have just introduced the Industry’s first OKRs Marketplace!
It’s easy to associate OKRs with large companies rather than startups and small businesses. But, as industry guru John Doerr says in Measure What Matters: “At smaller start-ups, where people absolutely need to be pulling in the same direction, OKRs are a survival tool.”
At Gtmhub, we are introducing the very first RPA (Robotic Process Automation) for OKRs in order to help large organizations deploy and manage OKRs at scale.
Our new Tasks View lets users of the Gtmhub software easily track their teams’ progress with assigned tasks. You can now comfortably say, “This is what I want to achieve” (OKRs), and “This is how am I going to do it.”
Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) can transform your flimsy resolutions into a clear, sound and actionable plan for growth and achievement.
Wouldn’t you love it if you could immediately access the data on your KR and discuss it right there and then? Yes, we get that. That’s why we decided to make your life easier and introduce the full-on integration of Gtmhub with Microsoft Teams and Slack.
