One of the hardest parts of doing OKRs in your org is making sure that it's integrated within your systems. Surfacing your goals where your team is already working is the best way to ensure that OKRs don't feel like a "nice to have."

OKRs should be a central part of every conversation, every task, everything you do at work. Why? Because that's what we're all trying to achieve.

One way to bring OKRs into your conversations is by literally doing that. You already have your whole team chatting about cat memes and the latest work gossip (and work, of course), why not have your goals there too.

What can you do with OKRs in Slack?

Tability's integration with Slack brings OKRs to the center of your conversations in several ways.

Get check-in reminders in your DMs

Tapping your teammates on the shoulder asking them to do their check-ins is a chore.

The Tability integration with Slack makes it easy to send reminders in Slack when it's time to update your goals. Every monday (you can also customise what day), you'll get a ping in Slack reminding you to do your check-ins for the week.

One of our customers, Huzzle, loves Tability for this feature specifically. Chief of Staff, Charlie Mart, found himself constantly “nagging” people to complete their check-ins, having to follow up individually just to keep the OKRs on track. “I felt like I had to check up on people more regularly to make sure they were putting in goals and remembering to update them,” he said.

Using automated reminders, he no longer had to nag people, and the team actually started to build their own healthy relationship with doing check-ins.

Save time by updating OKRs directly from Slack

One of the biggest pain-points for individual contributors adopting OKRs, is the time it takes to create check-ins. A developer or designer's focus is always to be writing code or working in Figma. Asking them to jump into a new tool, log in, add their check-ins can be tedious and annoying.

With Tability, we've tried to streamline this process as much as possible by bringing the check-in forms directly into Slack.

Share in Slack, with all the context

Because of Tability's seamless integration with Slack, you're able to see a lot more in context when you share Tability links in Slack. Links shared in your Slack channels show a preview, showing vital details about an outcome or plan so that it's not just a preview, but a live look at what's going on.

Start putting OKRs at the center of conversations

Tability's goal is to put your OKRs at the center of conversations. The integration with Slack, naturally does just that.

By doing so, you're able to automate and simplify so many teduious parts about maintaining your OKR progress, while simultaneously bringing OKR context into your every day chats.

Now, you and your team will always have goals top-of-mind, to help you focus and maintain accountability to the work that needs to be done.

Managing OKRs can be a hassle when your data is scattered across different tools. Pulling performance metrics or progress updates from various platforms is time-consuming and repetitive. Worse yet, you end up duplicating work—updating your OKRs in one place and entering the same data elsewhere. It’s a frustrating cycle that slows you down and distracts from focusing on results.

More often than not, this just leads to teams not updating their OKRs and letting them collect dust. It's just too cumbersome and distracting from the task at hand.

That's why teams trust Tability. Tability makes this part easy, by bringing all of your data into one place.

Using data connectors you can pull data from the apps where you do your work and where you collect data.

Connect data directly to your OKRs

Using Tability data connectors, you can have live data in your OKRs at all times. Once you add your data connector as a data source for an outcome/Key Result, Tability can:

  • Automatically pull the most recent value of the metric when you open the check-in form.
  • Perform a daily sync of the metric while the plan is active (Premium subscription only).

Example:

Auto-sync your data to create check-ins automatically

Once you have your data sources connected, you can enable auto-sync on your key results. What this does is it automatically creates check-ins on your Key Results so that you have the latest data in Tability at all times.
