We're a series B funded company with 40 employees getting ready to implement OKR's (Objectives and Key Results) and an OKR management application and was hoping to solicit recommendations from the founder community.

Look forward to your recommendations!

Good video on how Google sets OKRs:

Asana- though not designed for OKRs, would be a pretty simple place to keep them. Especially if you are already using it or something similar.

Word of warning- despite the current trendiness to talk about OKRs, I feel they do more damage than good if tied to bonuses. It's a rehashing of Drucker's Management by Objective (MBO) which comes out of the 50's and isn't generally used anymore.

Most roles- outside of perhaps sales- don't distill simply into quantitative metrics that are good enough to tie bonuses too. Instead, you get people sub-optimizing and doing damage to the business.

OK, I'm off my soapbox... :)

For starters I would suggest not assuming that everyone knows what you mean by the abbreviation OKR.
