Operately v0.1
The First Public Alpha Release
We’re stoked to unveil the first alpha release of Operately – the open source startup operating system.
This initial release zeroes in on the core pillars of startup execution:
- Goals: Ditch the fuzzy OKRs. Operately helps you forge a crystal-clear direction with a hierarchy of goals and projects.
- Projects: Operately gives you structured, accountable projects that drive progress. No more guessing what’s on track – you’ll see it instantly.
- Accountability & Communication: “Who’s doing what?” and “What’s the status?” become questions of the past. Establish clear roles and set up regular check-ins to keep everyone aligned and information flowing.
There are definitely some rough edges, but we’re releasing early because we believe in building in public and iterating based on real user feedback.
Why Operately?#
Strong execution is a competitive advantage. But current collaboration tools fall short in helping you attain it.
By connecting your plans directly to your day-to-day execution, Operately creates a single source of truth for the entire company. It’s like having a COO co-founder who never sleeps, always knows what’s going on, and keeps everyone focused on what matters.
Self-host in 5 minutes#
Take Operately for a spin: you can install it on a small (1 CPU, 2GB) machine in 5 minutes. Follow the self-hosted installation guide.
If you’d rather use Operately as a SaaS, sign up for the cloud waiting list.
