Context

Challenges

  • Complex KR Relationships Teams couldn't easily visualize how key results interconnected, which hindered strategic alignment.
  • Overwhelming Interface Too many features displayed at once led to decision paralysis for users.
  • Lack of Personalization Organizations needed customizable workflows, but the platform wasn't flexible enough.
