Setting goals and tracking progress is crucial for success. Whether you're leading a team or managing a product, having clear objectives and key results (OKRs) can help keep your entire team focused on what matters to the business.

With the release of OKR functionality, Essembi provides leaders and project managers a powerful set of tools to manage their software business.

What are OKRs and why do they matter?

OKRs – Objectives and Key Results – provide a framework for setting ambitious goals and measuring progress towards achieving them. Objectives are the overarching aims, while Key Results are specific, measurable outcomes that indicate whether those objectives have been met. By aligning everyone's efforts towards these common goals, organizations can enhance focus, improve transparency, and drive better results.

For Leadership Teams

For leaders, the introduction of OKR functionality in Essembi is a game-changer. It provides a centralized platform to set strategic objectives, communicate priorities, and track progress in real-time. With clear visibility into how every team and individual contribution ties back to the organization's overarching goals, leaders can make more informed decisions, allocate resources effectively, and drive alignment across the entire company.

For Product Managers

Product managers play a pivotal role in bringing ideas to life and delivering value to customers. With OKR functionality in Essembi, product managers gain a powerful tool to align their product roadmap with broader company objectives. By mapping roadmap initiatives, epics, tickets, and more to link directly to OKRs, they can ensure that every task contributes meaningfully to the organization's strategic priorities. This alignment not only improves focus and efficiency but also fosters a deeper understanding of how product initiatives impact the bottom line. This keeps team members engaged throughout the entire organization.

Enhanced Visibility and Accountability

One of the most significant advantages of integrating OKRs into Essembi is the enhanced visibility it offers. By linking initiatives, epics, tickets and more directly to OKRs, teams can see how their work contributes to the bigger picture, fostering a sense of purpose and ownership. This transparency also enables better accountability, as individuals and teams can track their progress in real-time and course-correct if necessary to stay on target.

One System, All the Functionality

The release of OKR functionality in Essembi marks a significant milestone in our mission to empower leaders and product managers with the all of the tools they need to succeed in a single platform.

By providing a centralized platform for setting goals with those goals linked to the actual work that is being completed by the team, Essembi gives leaders and team members clear visibility into the objectives and results of the business.
