Oboard Rolls Out OKR Data Management Software for Jira to Enhance Business Intelligence Capabilities

Software company Oboard Today, they have launched the innovative 'OKR Board for Jira,' aimed specifically at helping teams set, track, and analyze their data-driven OKRs directly on Jira's platform.

Oboard claims that their new tool has already attracted interest from major players in the industry, such as Volkswagen, Panasonic, Best Buy, Ericsson, and Pfizer.

According to Oboard, this new data management tool simplifies the adoption of OKRs. Its user-friendly management interface allows teams to define, track, and evaluate Objectives and Key Results while effortlessly generating progress reports from a single dashboard.

Moreover, the company emphasizes that this can all be done without needing any extra third-party applications or tools outside of the Atlassian environment, thus removing the friction of transferring data between different platforms.

Viktor Grekov, the founder of Oboard, shared with Metaverse Post, \"Standalone tools often create separation between tasks and OKRs. Linking them requires constant data transfers between systems. With ‘OKR Board for Jira,’ that process is automated. This gives teams more time to focus on essential tasks and reaching their objectives.\"

The platform is available on the Atlassian Marketplace Additionally, Oboard provides a complimentary OKR solution for Confluence, Atlassian's collaborative workspace platform, as well as support for Salesforce CRM users.

Enhancing Data Management in Jira for Increased Productivity 

Grekov from Oboard highlighted that users can seamlessly connect strategy and execution by linking their Jira tasks and epics to OKRs, which automatically refresh when tasks are completed. He believes this feature deepens teams’ understanding of their contributions to the organization's success, thereby enhancing engagement and motivation.

Businesses can also customize their OKR frameworks through this data platform to ensure alignment with their operational flow, assigning objectives to specific teams or departments, each with their own adjustable settings, permissions, and reporting options.

"You have a clear idea of your tasks and the goals you wish to achieve. The real challenge for many businesses lies in making these two aspects work together. With 'OKR Board,' each task can be given a specific weight that reflects its importance in reaching a goal, with progress being automatically updated as tasks are executed within Jira,\" Grekov elaborated.

Oboard mentions that the Cross-project OKR Roadmap feature allows team progress to be synchronized across different departments, with all changes being instantly integrated into reporting and analytics.

"Our API makes it possible to export data from the OKR Board for external reporting needs and import data from any third-party business intelligence service to keep key results updated,\" Grekov explained to Metaverse Post. \"This grants businesses the liberty to use OKR management without compromising their favorite tools and systems.\"

The company also noted that design and printing enterprises have started utilizing the OKR Board to weave every phase of the OKR approach into their preferred workflows, effectively removing the need for laborious manual tracking. Vista In an interview with Metaverse Post, Grekov revealed Oboard's plans to integrate their new data management platform with Miro, MS Teams, and Slack.

What’s next for Oboard? 

"We aim to include custom fields that allow users to attribute unique characteristics to their OKRs, like categories, tags, or extra details, and to provide further reporting options including individual performance metrics and health assessments,\" Grekov added. \"Furthermore, we're planning to launch a standalone Oboard app, serving as a comprehensive outcome management solution that allows different departments to choose their preferred tools, whether that's Jira, Salesforce, or another option entirely.\"
