Finally moves our team away from tracking tasks to moving actual metrics.
Check-in reminders can get a bit spammy if not tuned.
Connecting company vision directly to weekly initiatives changed our alignment.
Free tier is too restricted for growing cross-functional squads.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
Set company, department and team objectives with numeric key results, so everyone can see how their work ladders up to the wider plan.
Give each objective target metrics and review pacing in lightweight check-ins instead of long status meetings.
Tie day-to-day projects to the goals they are meant to move, and rank work by expected impact on the metric.
Build org charts of who owns what, follow team check-in rhythm and recognise progress with awards.
Sign in with Google and hook North into the rest of your stack on every plan, including the free tier.
North is built for organisations that already believe in outcome-based planning but are tired of running OKRs in spreadsheets. Instead of tracking tasks, North asks each team to name the metric it wants to change, then connects the initiatives that should move that number. The result is a workspace where a check-in answers a simple question: are we on pace, and what are we doing about it?
The product bundles three layers that are usually spread across different tools: a strategy layer for company vision and annual targets, a goals layer for hierarchical OKRs, and an initiatives layer for the projects that deliver them. Teams see the big picture through alignment views, while leads get a clear ranking of work by expected impact rather than by who shouted loudest.
Onboarding is deliberately light — the free plan lets a small team try outcome thinking before committing, and paid plans scale up with unlimited goals, more storage, private teams and priority support. North also invests heavily in education, publishing a full guide library on OKR practice alongside the software, which makes it a reasonable starting point for companies running OKRs for the first time.
A COO publishes annual targets, cascades them to departments and runs a Monday check-in rhythm where each team reports pacing against its metric.
An engineering or design lead links the roadmap to metric-moving initiatives so planning debates focus on impact, not on feature requests.
A distributed company uses shared goals and visible check-in status so remote team members can see how their work affects the whole.
A consultant deploys North across portfolio companies to replace the Google Sheets OKR templates clients were struggling to maintain.
