Stop burning energy on keeping your teams together.
Other tools give you a blank canvas and no structure. Operately bakes in proven workflows — around goals, projects, and accountability — so your team makes consistent progress every week.
You don't need a COO. You need a system that runs itself.
Tools like Notion give you infinite flexibility — but no playbook. So every founder ends up reinventing how to run the company: updates scattered across docs, goals forgotten in spreadsheets, makeshift processes held together by willpower until it runs out.
Operately flips that. Your plans and day-to-day work stay connected. Reviews and check-ins happen on schedule. Your team makes consistent progress every week — without you holding everything together.
Turn goals into visible progress
Track business goals with measurable targets tied directly to projects. Operately replaces your OKR spreadsheet or Notion template.
- Work maps for the big picture.
- Connect vision to team goals and projects. Break big initiatives into sub-goals and see how daily work moves the needle in one view.
- A standard structure for your goals.
- Define success criteria, assign champions, and set timelines. Add context with docs and discussions so goals are clear and actionable.
- No more 'set and forget'.
- Reviews and check-ins run on schedule, with automatic reminders when updates are due. Goals stay alive week after week — not forgotten until the next board meeting.
Project management for every department
Task boards, milestones, and ownership keep initiatives moving. Operately replaces Basecamp, Asana or Trello with a system that’s tied directly to company goals.
- Always know who owns what.
- Every project has a champion, a clear status, and milestones that are tracked automatically.
- Measure progress by outcomes, not busywork.
- Projects are measured by milestones and results, not task-level noise.
- Fast feedback loops without chasing updates.
- Check-ins and reminders keep progress flowing. Great for building an async-first, remote-friendly culture.
