Your team doesn't need another
blank canvas. It needs a system.
Operately connects goals to projects with built-in check-ins and progress tracking. Open source. Self-host or use the cloud. Free to start.
"We finally have one place where goals and daily work are connected. No more status meetings just to figure out where things stand."
Goals that stay alive
Set goals with measurable targets. Connect them to projects. See progress automatically as work advances. No more goals forgotten in a spreadsheet until the quarterly review.
Measurable targets — not vague aspirations
Automatic progress — from connected projects
Regular reviews — with built-in reminders
"The weekly check-ins changed our culture. People actually know what others are working on now without asking."
Projects that don't need babysitting
Every project has an owner, milestones, and regular check-ins. Progress flows upward automatically. No one has to chase anyone for status.
Clear ownership — every project has a champion
Built-in check-ins — async progress updates on schedule
Tied to goals — project work feeds goal progress
