Lattice - Performance management for growing companies

Hey ProductHunt! I'm Jack, one of the founders of Lattice. We built Lattice because we've been part of growing teams and we know how hard it can be to stay aligned. We think clear goals that connect throughout a company are critical to running a business. Maintaining goals in a spreadsheet isn't enough; we wanted to make a tool where they are connected, engaging, and can evolve over time. We've been in beta testing for a few months and getting some great responses from our customers, so now we're opening up the product to the public. We'd love for you to try it out with your team and send us all the feedback and feature requests you have! Our mission is to help companies run well and we're extremely excited to share this product. Let us know what you think! Jack

I spent a long time talking with Jack about the how and why of goal setting in companies and am a huge fan of what they have created here. I was deeply involved in setting up the OKR process at NerdWallet, and have advised numerous startups since then on how to think about their own goal setting, and I believe that Lattice is hands down the best technology solution to help with that. Congrats Jack and team!

This is great, I was sold within 3 minutes of clicking around the site. Looking forward to dive in with the team. 👏👏👏👏

This is a great space to be operating in, Lattice have built something cool and and I look forward to seeing how the product continues to evolve. The founder also has a cool name.

@jaltma This is really cool. I recently signed up and look forward to using it to keep the goals of my team aligned. This specially is more helpful for a distributed team like ours where 2 of the co-founders are in India and 2 in the US. Good luck with the launch.

Hey y'all. Congrats. How big does a team need to be to get value out of Lattice?

I've been using Lattice together with my team for quite a while now and I gotta say it's a really great tool for organizing all kinds of goals in a clear & visually appealing way + awesome Slack integration. Keep it up @jaltma!

This looks cool. well done @jaltma . Excited to try this out. I think goal setting is always tough because it depends on the style of problem. This looks like a great start, I would definitely take a look at the semiconductor industry because they've done a lot of study and thinking around the best way to do this. Is the goal attacking a stochastic or discrete problem? What's the timeline of the problem/goal? How many dependencies are there in terms of people and technology? How many time zones do the dependencies traverse?

This looks good, but I'm not sure I need to add yet another tool with such a specific usage. We currently use Slack channels, amongst other things, for goal setting. I.e, we have a Slack channel dedicated to adding x number of new clients in 2016. Anything that anybody thinks will get us closer to that goal, goes in there, so does feedback, successes, etc. if a project outgrows the "I am part of this goal" setting it will get moved out to either its own project channel or added to an existing project. For proper project management, resource allocation and time tracking we use Wrike, where we do the heavy lifting of keeping the company on track and our clients happy.

You guys are solving a really important problem here. I've always scratched my head at why there's not a simple tool out there that helps me track my goals, makes them visible to anyone at the company that wants to see them, and helps me ensure alignment with the broader team/company goals. Top work!
