# How does Tability work? Tability bridges the gap between strategy and execution, empowering teams to understand priorities and make a meaningful impact. Founded by former Atlassian employees, Tability is built with execution at the core of the product with an emphasis on usability, functionality, and simplicity. ## Where does Tability sit? Tability is the missing link between your strategy documents and your projects. It gives you a complete platform to set quarterly goals, see progress trends, and map outcomes to outputs.
## How does Tability work? Tability is a complete collaboration platform centered around outcomes and helps follow a simple goal setting process: * **Set goals:** Use Tability's goal-setting AI and editor to set measurable goals for the quarter and save time. * **Track goal progress:** Use weekly check-ins to update your goal metrics, confidence in completing them, and useful context to see trends and solve issues. * **Align and cascade your goals:** Use the Strategy Map and the Cascading Map to align teams and see dependencies between goals. * **Track strategic initiatives and projects:** Generate relevant initiatives for your strategy and provide regular status updates. * **Explore your organization's progress:** Use filters to isolate the data that you care about. * **Present and share your goal updates:** Share health digests with stakeholders and embed Tability views in your docs. ## Tability structure ### Workspaces Your **workspace** is your org's home where you'll track goal, manage initiatives and collaborate with your team. All of your org's work will exist in inside of your Tability workspace ### Plans The first thing you'll do after creating a workspace is to add your first plan. A plan is a container for your goals and you will be able to organise your workspace with plans and sub-plans. Generally, a plan will correspond to a specific team and quarter. For instance, an org that has both company-level OKRs and OKRs for the Marketing team in Q4 will create 2 plans as shown below 👇 {% hint style="info" %} 📁 Company OKRs 2023 Q4 \|-- 📁 Marketing OKRs 2023 Q4 {% endhint %} Each plan will have a specific timeline which will determine when check-ins should be active. ### Goals After creating a plan, you'll be able to set your goals. The terminology that you use is up to you, but our defaults are: * **Objectives:** What you're overall trying to achieve. Use objectives to group measurable outcomes together. * **Outcomes:** Measurable goals that tell you if you've achieved your Objective. Use outcomes to set your targets and assign owners. If you're using OKRs, your outcomes will be your key results. * **Initiatives:** The projects and tasks you're doing to push your outcomes forward. Use initiatives to capture the work that needs to be done to achieve your goals. ### Check-ins After you've published your plan with your goals, your team will be asked to update their outcomes or key results each week with their progress. Check-ins track three things: * **Metrics:** How are you tracking towards your measurable goals? * **Confidence:** How confident is your team on being able to complete this outcome? * **Analysis:** Why do or don't they feel confident? What progress have they made and what blockers are they encountering? After the check-ins have been completed, Tability will automatically chart their responses so you can see how things have changed overtime. Everyone in your workspace can see the check-in details, so nothing gets siloed! ###
