7 Keys To Building A High-Performing Team Dynamic
How do you turn a group of people into a high-performing, interdependent team that can make rapid and sustained progress?
Rich Price
Clarity. Coordination. Connection.
Alignd helps answer your team's two most important questions "do people know what matters most and are they focused there?"
What we’re doing requires extraordinary coordination. The first step towards coordination is awareness. Alignd enables that awareness.
Kyle Clark - CEO of BETA Technologies
Get on the same page. Stay there.
The modern workplace is increasingly disconnected (hybrid and distributed), and the pace of change requires new ways of working as AI-enabled teams produce more value with fewer resources.
Alignd will help teams stay focused and coordinated on what matters most.
coordination
Create asynchronous awareness that enables better teamwork.
Team members share their daily key focus and key priorities for the week. Teams share out their top priorities for the week.
clarity
Enable real-time visibility to strategic goals as they iterate.
Maintain a shared understanding of the company and team-level goals. Keep vision and values top of mind. Rely on leading indicators of success with real-time data to know where the mass and energy of the organization is.
connection
Find the talents and passions that exist within the team and know the gaps that exist.
Your team has amazing skills and talents - you should know how to find them. See who people are, what teams they’re working in (and with) and surface the hidden skills and experiences that already exist within the company.

What people are saying
“What we’re doing requires extraordinary coordination. The first step towards coordination is awareness. Alignd enables that awareness.”
Kyle Clark
BETA Technologies
“I like seeing what everyone’s working on. As a project manager, it's really useful.”
Robyn L
“This is so unique. Having the capacity to be able to make genuine business decisions, and see if resources exist to achieve a goal, is almost impossible. This is needed in so many other businesses”
Craig D
“It’s a prompt which forces you to take a monumental task list and bitesize it down. I love it. It's so unique”
Chad N
“It gives me a pulse on what's being worked on across the business, and what's important to the business. It opens my eyes to things people are working on, that I can learn from or help with.”
Kristen B
“I use Alignd for my own personal accountability. The daily sticky is a good prioritization tool. Also, seeing that everyone else is publicly and visibly doing the same - makes me feel like I’m not working in isolation. Everyone is working together.”
Ryan B
“I’m able to get clear with myself and what is the most important thing. Putting first things first.”
Andrea O
“Alignd helps us more explicitly define how our goals support the company goals and how we prioritize our goals to support company goals.”
Kelly U
“Alignd has sharpened how we prioritize effort and how we track where effort is flowing.”
Tyler S
“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.”
Karen I
“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.”
Ben S
“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.”
Riley G
“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.”
Bernard M
“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.”
Keith M
“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.”
Ed T
“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.”
Jeff W
“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.”
Travis J
“How I use Alignd personally: Great way to track the things I need to focus on and plan my week on Monday morning / Sunday night. How the team uses Alignd: When looking at IPT team mate goals, it’s helpful to see what type of design work they (engineering) are working on. Gives me insight into what I could gain out the them that would be most helpful that day.”
Scott W
“Alignd is working really well for our Product Safety team. I especially love being able to set a weekly intention as my daily focus!”
Quim M
“I see the tool as really helping individuals in the team to connect their goals to each other and to the larger team and company objectives. It is providing situational awareness of what is needed to get to the next big milestone and how we are progressing which affects motivation and makes some really big things feel more doable when you can see all the pieces coming together. Last, I think it is helping us hold ourselves accountable for the progress we intend to make in a environment that can have lots of distractions.”
Brett M
“Alignd has helped my team most, as an integrated goal setting, and measuring tool. My team is the Final Assembly line, and we track the progress of goals across 15 other teams, and need to be able to pivot quickly, and execute on clear goals to serve the greater team.”
Alex G
“As a team lead Alignd allows a great cross section view on a daily and weekly scale across the team. It allows for alignment and synergy when monitored and coordinated. Alignd allows planning on a daily, weekly, quarterly scale. Allowing you to build out and track progress as granular as you want to build it.”
