What is Simple Goals and what does it help me do?

Simple Goals brings your Goals and OKRs into Slack. By bringing goals closely to where teams hang out and spend time, we help them stay aware of their own goals, their organization's goals, and the goals of anyone they work with. This goal awareness drives alignment, collaboration, transparency, and ultimately empowers you and your organization to accomplish & exceed your goals ?


Embrace the power of transparent goals and harness powerful benefits:

  • Foster cross-team collaboration
  • Expose redundant or opposing work across the company
  • Surface team's intentions & priorities to reduce unnecessary politics
  • Align teams behind one vision

What is a “team” in Simple Goals?

A team is simply a group of people who have common goals. Each team has:

  • One or two goal pages (for example "2020 Goals" and "Q1 Goals")
  • One or more team members (You can be a member of as many teams as you want)
  • A channel (where weekly goal reminders can be posted)

Teams can take many shapes or forms, for example:

  • Acme corp (the whole company)
  • Engineering (a large organization with many departments)
  • Inside sales (a smaller organization with few subteams)
  • Notifications team (a team in the most literal sense of the word)
  • Jane Doe personal (a team that is just you and your personal goals, visible to everyone in the company)
