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!

You have a quite a choice as there are many vendors offering a range of different offerings. Here is a shortlist of just a few:

7Geese
Atiim
Betterworks
GTMHub
Perdoo
Weekdone

Workteam

All of the above tools (perhaps with the exception of Betterworks) are great tools for managing OKRs for small and mid-size firms. When choosing a tool, I recommend looking for features for refining OKRs into initiatives, as more granular planning around goals provides a greater probability of achieving outcomes. Also look for features that encourage staff to keep their OKRs updated through regular check-ins. When you start using an OKR tool, the main benefit you will see will be through the increased transparency around goals that you engender into the organization and the increased communication that occurs around progress of goals across each team and particularly between employees and managers.

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... :)
