How is it integrated with Trello?

@kryshe4ka It's integrated via Power-ups. You can install OKRStudio power-up from the marketplace, so it will be available right in your Trello board and you will not have to switch between different tools. Both OKRs and project management will be in one place.

@kryshe4ka The cool thing about OKRStudio is that you can use it as a standalone tool too. It is not mutually exclusive with Trello.

🤙 Hey ProductHunters, We are with @tarasowski very excited to introduce our first product (Trello power-up) that supercharges teams that are using OKR framework for goal-setting and Trello boards for project-management. Now you can create and manage OKRs in power-up right inside Trello and then connect Trello cards to it. Why did we create it? We used OKR framework for years and there was no direct connection between project-management tools and OKRs. As a result, it was harder to manage OKRs, align teams, prioritize the backlog of tasks, get an overview of which tasks really contribute to the company's objectives. What are the benefits of it (we at least think so): - You get an overview which Trello cards contribute to which OKRs; - You can prioritize better due to OKR badges on Trello cards; - No need to switch the context between spreadsheet and Trello. OKRs inside of Trello; - It communicates the importance of a task through an OKR label on a Trello card. How to use it: 1. Add OKRstudio power-up to your Trello board; 2. Create your account and add team members; 3. Add OKRs and assign it to team members; 4. Connect Trello cards to your OKRs. Check it out! We'd be very happy to hear any feedback and critique. p.s. Do you think this is really useful? Let us know in the comments.

How do you differ from similar tools like Weekdone, 7Geese, Betterworks?

@eugene_stepnov thanks for the question I'd say there are 3 main things: 1. Direct integration with Trello, so your OKRs are right inside of you project-management tool (other tools are usually standalone services where you just manage OKRs) 2. Ability to connect tasks to OKRs (the majority of other tools don't support it); 3. The simplicity of OKRstudio. We believe the simple process of OKR management is critical here. We hate over-complicated tools and the majority of competitors are really full of unnecessary features.

@eugene_stepnov we just offer plain dead simple OKR Tracking and nothing more. The other guys have such amount of features that it is almost impossible to integrate their solutions without consulting services. Look e.g. at the 7Geese team, they have 4 performance coaches on their team. People love us because we are dead simple. A recent customer told us that they have moved from Weekdone to us because of the simplicity and ease of integration. This is also what drives us as founders too. Btw. a good question. Thank you Eugene.

@eugene_stepnov Also, I think the products you're mentioning are big, complex, and b2b oriented. While this solution is pretty simple and you can start using it fast.

The very needed thing for more effective management of results-oriented teams! Good job!

@angelina_dmitruk thanks for your feedback! Yeah, it's really must-have for results-oriented teams :)

@angelina_dmitruk Thanks Angelina. Regarding effective management, we are offering a concierge service for our customers. We are sharing how to manage teams with the least amount of effort, with the least amount of tools. In most cases, managers try to over-engineer the management processes and it becomes a burden for teams to work. We can partly help to solve such kind of problems, but not all of them.

I like the idea. How specifically does it help to prioritize tasks? Good luck folks!
Andrei Baklinau

@kuolldev thanks :) When you connect a Trello card to an OKR, a special badge is automatically added to a card. So if you look at Trello board with dozens of tasks, you will clearly see which of them connected to OKRs and helps to reach the company's objectives. And when you think what task you need to do now, OKR labels will clearly communicate its importance.

@kuolldev what do you think about it? Will it really help to prioritize the tasks?
Dimi Tarasowski

@kuolldev Also, I want to add a concept that we have introduced w/ OKRStudio. The concept is called "immutable goals". The idea was taken from the best practices of software development. Once the goal is set there is no way to change the objective and key results. The only thing you can do is to add the progress during your weekly check-ins. The immutability of goals forces everyone to think deeply about their goals and key results. This is an effective management technique that helps people to pick the right goals for a quarter.

Thanks @andrei_baklinau for making this happen. I looked for different ways to use OKRs in Trello and didn't find any automated and easy solution so far like OKRStudio. Most current solutions are a combination of screenshots and google sheets etc. Will install it right away and hope it works as great as it looks like!

@andrei_baklinau @tarasowski On the first sight it looks very easy and simple to use. I will keep you updated!

We are currently using spreadsheets to track OKRs but have been exploring other solutions. How's your service better? Will give it a shot anyways! Thank you :)

@ihar_anfimau thanks for the question, I would say there are a few main advantages: - With spreadsheets, you need to switch between tools. With OKRStudio tasks and OKRs are in the same place, inside Trello. - With spreadsheets, you can't connect tasks to OKRs (you can do that only with different workarounds). With OKRStudio you can add OKR badges to tasks and thus connect it to OKRs. - With OKRStudio you can easily see what tasks (tasks will have visually prominent OKR badges) are connected to what OKRs, as a result, you can easily prioritize your work, understand which tasks contribute to the company's objectives the most, who is working on which OKRs, etc.
Dimi Tarasowski
Maker
@ihar_anfimau There is another concept backed into our tool which is called "immutability of goals". The idea behind the concept is that once the goal is set you cannot change it anymore. The only thing you can do is to update your progress. It's an effective management approach to force people to think deeply about their goals and commit to them. Because often people treat their goals as something that they can change or slightly modify, in OKRStudio you cannot do that.
