Goals and OKRs

Autessa Homebase includes goal tracking and OKRs: company, department, team and personal goals linked in one aligned tree by what each supports. Each goal can have key results, a progress measure and an on track, at risk or off track status, updated with quick check-ins.

  • Company → department → team → personal alignment
  • Key results and three ways to measure progress
  • Check-ins with history and a monthly reminder
  • Private goals for the owner, their managers and HR

The problem

People cannot see how their work adds up

Goals in slide decks are set in January and forgotten by March. Homebase keeps goals live and connected: each personal goal supports a team goal, which supports a company goal, and a one-minute check-in keeps everyone current.

How it works

How goals and OKRs works in Homebase

  1. Set the goal

    Pick the scope (company, department, team or personal), the owner, what it supports, and how it is measured.

  2. Add key results

    Describe the key results that show the goal is met.

  3. Check in

    Every few weeks, record progress, how it is going (on track, at risk, off track) and a note. Homebase reminds people monthly.

  4. See the tree

    View Mine, My team or Everything as an aligned tree, and open any goal to see its history and the goals around it.

  5. Close it out

    Mark goals achieved, missed or dropped. They stay in history and appear in reviews.

FAQ

Questions about goals and OKRs

Does Autessa Homebase support OKRs?

How do goals align?

Each goal can support another goal, so personal goals roll up to team, department and company goals in one tree.

How often should people check in?

Every few weeks. Homebase sends a monthly reminder, and each check-in takes about a minute.
