👋 Hi Product Hunt, this is Ninad, the creator of North. 🚨 THE PROBLEM " There are so many people working so hard and achieving so little " – Andy Grove, CEO of Intel, father of the OKR Framework 🔸 Teams focus a lot on output (projects) and not on outcomes 🔸 There is little visibility on why we are doing what we are doing 🔸 Projects and features get prioritized without an outcome in mind 🧩 OUR STORY AND THE SOLUTION 🔹 I was heading the growth team for one of our just launched products 🔹 We were focused on the product activation and retention metric (AARRR framework) 🔹 We wanted to see how our ideas / experiments moved our key metric 🔹 We used Google sheets but it did not scale (still recommend it as a starting point) 🔹 We built North for us to track both, outputs (projects) against outcomes (metrics) 🔹 We created a winning team-wide habit of picking high impact ideas, measuring progress and regular check-in's 🎭 HOW IS NORTH DIFFERENT ✅ North is designed for high performance data-driven teams (founders, leaders, PMs) ✅ North combines OKRs + Project management ✅ Track key metrics using OKRs and KPIs ✅ Track projects/Initiatives under those OKRs and KPIs ✅ Prioritize ideas using RICE (or framework of your choice) ✅ Build a culture and habit of weekly check-in's ✅ Achieve your goals and outcomes ❤️ EARLY ADOPTERS LOVE NORTH 🗣️ I regularly coach companies on how to make and use OKRs, and have struggled with Google Sheets. There are other OKR platforms out there, but I've found this one to be lightweight (yet has carefully-nested depth that allows companies to grow into more sophisticated features), fast-to-onboard, lots of techniques to operationalize usage, and it's cost-effective. (I have no affiliation with the company, other than putting all the companies I advise onto the platform) ------------- Jay Batson - Founder/CEO, Board member, CEO coach, angel investor ------------- 🗣️ "North has been really helpful in getting alignment within and across teams. Especially being remote, we can’t imagine working without North anymore.” ----------------- Ramki Gaddipati - CTO and Co-Founder, Zeta (https://zeta.tech) ----------------- 🗣️ “I am a firm believer in OKRs – North is now my go-to app to track everything, right form Goals, key results, and Initiatives. North has brought tremendous clarity to the team. I highly recommend OKRs and North to all CEOs. ---------------- Bhavin Turakhia - CEO, and Co-Founder, Titan & Zeta (https://titan.email/) ---------------- ✅ GIVE NORTH A TRY ✴️ North has a FREE plan ✴️ Built-in demo mode ✴️ Send us feedback - sherpa @ thenorth.io 🚀 NORTH IN NUMBERS 🔸 9,876 -- Goals tracked 🔸 33,647 -- Key Results or KPIs tracked 🔸 61,610 -- Projects / Initiatives tracked 🔸 61,613 -- Check-in's made 🙏

I coach quite a few teams on using OKRs effectively, and unless they have an enterprise restriction against doing so, I universally get teams using TheNorth. It’s a best of breed tool, IMO. It encourages good OKR methodology & habits within teams, it provides incredibly useful tech, it’s super intuitive to use, and the company is very responsive to questions. I’ve never seen a single “bug”, and it has always had super responsive speed. I cannot rave enough about it. I’m a big, big fan.

I find the AI assistant really helpful when it comes to generating ideas for goals. Even when you know where to run, a little bit of precision helps the creative process. Will try to get my team on the tool!

North has been amazing for my team. At an early stage, I would want my company to be aligned on common mission statements. North's structure approach of Goals >> KRs >> Initiatives is amazing. The customisation is at the perfect level, allowing for personalised structure for my team. Kudos to Ninad @ninad for creating this gem!
