From Team '23

Tempo Team

Setting bold goals is critical for success, but being able to track and execute them properly is what turns dreams into reality. That’s where objective and key result (OKR) software comes in. It’s designed to help organizations set, align, and measure goals across departments, from the first brainstorming session to the final product.

In this guide, we’ll define what OKR software does, highlight 15 of the best OKR software tools on the market, and show how Tempo’s helps teams align daily activity with high-level strategy using built-in product management tools.

What’s OKR software?

OKR software are digital platforms that help organizations manage their goals. They facilitate teams in defining objectives (what they want to achieve) and results (how they'll measure success), and they simplify progress tracking. Plus, integration with task and time-tracking methods and precise software requirements tools helps keep OKRs rooted in achievable, measurable outcomes.

The right OKR platform enables transparency, connects individual contributions to organizational goals, and creates team alignment. OKR tracking software typically includes features like:

  • Goal-setting templates

  • Progress dashboards

  • OKR alignment maps

  • Notifications and check-ins

  • Integration with other workspace platforms

Some tools are standalone platforms, while others are built into project planning and management systems. Either way, OKR platforms support a repeatable trajectory of goal setting, tracking, and reflecting, which is the foundation of any outcome-focused project.

Drive OKR alignment and visibility with Tempo

While dedicated OKR software helps define and track objectives, understanding how your team's daily activities contribute to those objectives is crucial for success.
