Fewer and more effective meetings

“Alignd helps us more explicitly define how our goals support the company goals and how we prioritize our goals to support company goals.”

“Alignd has sharpened how we prioritize effort and how we track where effort is flowing.”

“Alignd has been an extremely valuable tool for me here at BETA. In my past jobs, being able to see how each team were supporting and meeting the company goals was a mystery. With Alignd, I and my team mates are able to see how our goals impact other teams and give a bigger picture for context when we need to pull together to reach the company goals, not just our own. It also serves as a place to see what teams support our goals and who we can coordinate and collaborate with to ensure we are working together and being successful as a unified front.”

“We are using Alignd to determine our weekly goals. We review our entire teams goals every Monday to review the previous week and the plan for the current week. Then daily our team is supposed to put their main goal. That is primarily how we are using it now. I think it's helpful to keep us moving toward the overall goals since we have to tie out to the main goals. Overall impacts is it forces everyone to think about how they are spending their time at a higher level which I think is a really positive thing. I still think we have room for improvement but I don't think that's because of the tool, that's probably more related to accountability to make sure people are putting the right amount of thought into their goals.”

“Alignd has been a useful tool for us in terms of setting quarterly goals and aligning them with key company milestones. We have moved to this tool as opposed to Jira, as it provides a better level of visibility in terms of tracking work without getting bogged down in long lists of individual tasks. Jira definitely has its use cases, but as our team is trying to be lean and work without a dedicated PM, Alignd offers a nice balance.”

“Alignd affords the benefit of goal organization and perhaps most importantly for us, the ability to convey what we are doing to a company-wide audience. In the end, this drives efficiencies which are important for our small team.”

“Alignd has brought great value to our teams through being both an intentional daily mental exercise to build confidence that our work is the right work along with a longer term interactive tool to track progress and when we need help. It has also been an impressive case study of finding a gap and not being afraid to iterate and change quickly in order to get to a solution that brings the right value to a large team.”

“Using Alignd has provided the Structures IPT clear and concise means to monitor status on Milestones and Deliverables. Upon getting familiar with the application, Alignd is user friendly and easy to manage.”

“The Alignd tool has become a driver we rely on to set not only weekly expectations for each of the members of our team, but also driving towards all milestones as we review our progress towards Goals, and decompose those into the Team Week goals. We review progress on Wednesdays in a mid-week tag up which is great way to identify help needed, and refocus team members on the weekly prize.”

“Due to the complexity and variety of elements our team is responsible for, we don’t always understand and appreciate the work needing to be done by others and where there might be overlap. Alignd has given us the ability to summarize the high level goals, while defining the detailed tasks for deeper understanding and has enabled team members to cross pollinate ideas and align their efforts to reduce redundancy and increase focus.”
