Workboard Reviews

I like the ease of use and the transparency. I can now see how my goals align with the organization all the way to the CEO.

Performance can be slow. This can be embarasing during meetings with Execs.

My company is moving towards a growth mindset. The benefits is the transparency and alignment. Workboard also helps everyone focus.

Workboard offers a modern SaaS solution combined with a world-class customer success team to help our teams understand the true meaning of OKRs, how to practice OKRs and how to use Workboard to drive the practice across all the business units at scale. For the first time, management can tell if the organization's priorities are well understood and executed across and deep into the organization by seeing how many teams are creating OKRs aligned to org OKRs.

The percentage of OKR attainment calculation is not readily available and easily understood in the application platform. This comment is more of an area to improve than a dislike.

We are trying to move away from static documents showing the organization's priorities, and our progress made. By putting our organization's OKRs and all our teams' OKRs on Workboard, we demonstrate transparency and accountability to our colleagues and enable them to align to our OKRs to achieve greater results for the company.

The WorkBoard Platform allows our teams to align on the truly important work, identifying key dependencies across the organization to propel us forward in the same direction! Not to mention, they have provided incredible consultation along the way, sharing best practices from OKR writing to strategically aligning an organization.

WorkBoard's platform is so powerful that it sometimes makes sacrifices to the intuitive user experience. Great technology doesn't make users feel inferior, EVER! WorkBoard falls in the middle of the road for this. The solution is, they have a powerful resource center and incredible training.

We are continuously improving the strategic alignment of the organization by identifying key dependencies and mapping the stakeholders. WorkBoard has allowed us to eliminate inefficiencies at all levels of our business unit.

Workboard is many apps in one. And in the information age, consolidation goes a long way. But this isn’t just tacking on features to bloat the software…the major capabilities complement each other and result in a robust platform for managing results (plus the teams, actions, and meetings that lead to results). Their mobile app is fantastic. The product roadmap is transparent, aggressive, and closely connected to customer feedback and needs. The automation between major features and capabilities is exceptional. Aside from the platform itself, Workboard staff are expert coaches and consultants. They will be with you from start to finish, ensuring you are positioned for success and ready to thrive with OKRs. Finally, their Resource Center and self-help capabilities are some of the best I have seen.

My dislikes are better described as “what would I like to see that they are working on, but isn’t fully implemented yet” as many of my “dislikes” are on their roadmap and slated to go live in a matter of months. The web app speed and performance can be improved (though it is already very capable), and I wouldn’t mind seeing a native application on desktop to complement their mobile app.

OKRs can be a challenging model to adopt for some. It requires new ways of thinking and operating, and can take time to build proficiency. Workboard will help you every step of the way. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know what OKRs stands for, or if you are 20-year, OKR veteran, Workboard can help you create or evolve your practice. And it will lead to results. Also, there is a TON of great material on their website. Leverage that as much as you can. My recommendation: schedule some time to discuss your needs with the Workboard team. You won’t regret it.

What problems aren’t we solving? Workboard’s platform and the Outcome Mindset enables an organization to focus on the most impactful work, align across any business unit, team, or department (in any sized organization), and encourage accountability across team members. This helps relieve the anxiety and stress of “I have too much to work on and don’t know what to focus on” for many. The benefits are: better organization of information, full transparency and therefore better connections across projects and teams, reduced confusion and anxiety, and higher engagement (I understand how my work fits into the broader picture).

The Workboard tool is easy to use and provides all employees visibility of OKRs across the entire organization. The tool also allows you to align to OKRs above and below a specific org providing key insights into the metrics we use to measure our business. Setting "Best Possible" OKRs can be challenging but very rewarding, loving this tool and methodology.

The tool can sometimes be slow which can be frustrating. With that said, WorkBoard is constantly improving the tool and always accepts feature requests to help improve the overall user experience. The WorkBoard team is fantastic to work with and very responsive.

The Workboard tool helps us align to the companies strategic objectives, providing visibility to all employees. The teams seem to be more connected than ever before and developing OKRs as a team and rolling up and aligning to your managers has provided us with insights we have never had before.

The customer service is excellent. I always quickly receive a response on issues and the team does a great job providing suggestions and tips to help make the implementation of workboard as a new tool successful. The availability for facilitation and support have been excellent. It is a great way to stay connected with remote workers and as we start using the tool more, I can foresee how it will help us drive and achieve the work that really matters.

Our organization is not always quick to accept new things and many have struggled to adapt their old way of thinking and working into a different approach. It is not intuitive for everyone and takes time to adapt. More analytics for administrators would be very helpful for driving results and utilization of the tool. Right now we are trying to get at that through the API and an analytics dashboard for administrators would be very helpful.

Give it a try and start with your leadership team first. Attend the OKR certification training WorkBoard offers, it is very helpful for making the implementation a success.

We are implementing it as a tool to help blend our strategic and operational priorities together. We are also using it to launch the quarterly OKR process which we hope will drive alignment across our organization and improve accountability and communication within our organization.

I am the administrator of the platform. Administration is extremely easy - one of the easiest platforms I've administered. The end-user experience is simple and is loved by everyone I have talked to.

There are no downsides to using WorkBoard in my opinion. We are only in the first quarter of OKR's, but so far I have been able to do everything I've needed to do.

WorkBoard and the implementation of OKR's into our business has allowed us to prioritize the work we do on a quarterly basis. It has allowed us to systematically deploy the strategy of our company.

Key results provide clarity on the focus efforts and quantity success to achieve right outcomes

It is getting tough to agree on the right messaging on the OKRs. Although these provide clarity, come up with them will take a lot of time and it will be challenging.

Getting to know the website & portal. It looks like a great system, but still new with it.

very informative and high energy instructors

would be good if it were more hands-on, but overall a good session!

Best okr software in the industry & worth the premium pricepoint- would recommend

okr tracking

Workboard tool is designed to align with our Leadership and our teams OKR's.

When first beginning to use Workboard there were allot of next steps that were to be used, but once you get to know the tool and use it daily it is very easy to use.

I feel that Workboard will help you as an individual grow and strive to align with leadership and team.

It helps each team member align with there managers, teams and company OKR's. Which will provide for more of streamlined company and truly become as ONE Team.
