Any questions? Leave a request.

Jun 20, 2023 Server/Data Center version
Jun 15, 2023 Cloud version
Jira Issue Custom Grade
You can now choose between two modes: Auto and Manual.
The new Manual grade lets you override your issue's progress and customize it using options like Percent, Binary, and Number, just like a Key Result.
Meanwhile, the Auto grade still works the same as before and is based on the Jira issue resolution status or progress of its subtasks.
OKR Map rework
We've also reworked the OKR Map with a new design and feature that lets you show or hide cross-workspace elements linked to your OKR.

Feb 27, 2023 Cloud, Data Center, and Server version
Email Tag Notifications
The OKR Board already allows you to tag your coworkers in the comments to Key Results and Objectives. However, previously the tagged user did not receive any notification that they had been mentioned in the discussion. With the Notification Center update, this has changed, Users get email notifications when somebody mentions them in a comment. The correct syntax for this is @[name], just like elsewhere in Jira.
OKR Board Cloud Migration Assistant
The OKR Board Cloud Migration Assistant helps you migrate your OKR Board Server and Data Center data to a new or existing Cloud site. Use our migration guide to prepare and plan for your migration from Server to Cloud. https://oboard.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OBPFJ/pages/912162817
Dec 21, 2022 Data Center and Server version
Nov 28, 2022 Cloud version
Move
Sometimes OKRs will need to be moved from the Workspace they were created into another more relevant workspace.
You can:
move a single Objective
move an Objective with all nested OKRs
Notification center
At Oboard, we continuously work on improving collaboration between people.
A notification center is a significant step towards increasing communication, and in general, it will raise the adoption of OKRs through monitoring and regular check-ins.
Don't miss a conversation with your team - get a notification with someone tags you in the comments.
How tags could be used?
Share feedback on a person's results. Let somebody know that he is doing a great job or needs to pay attention to some Objectives or Key Results.
Improve collaboration, alignment, and dependency between departments. Correct the following steps to increase efficiency in achieving the goal.
Participate in weekly check-ins showing your current progress and confidence level on Objectives or Key Results.

Apr 4, 2021 New forms
We are pleased to announce the launch of our brand new OKR forms!
Our goal with these new forms is to provide a quick, easy way to create, interact and edit your OKRs.
Some top user needs were discovered with OKR forms:
There was a need to share (via link) objective's form including all of its key results and child objectives in one view.
There was also a need for quick, easy editing objective and krs without leaving objective's form.
To have quick, easy navigation between Parent, Child O and KRs and to move back and forth between them.
Have the ability to leave comments.
View the history of objective changes.
What's new:
We optimized for these flows so a user could make 2 clicks and have created an objective, find all information about its parent and child objectives, navigate through them etc.

Key results, Parent and Child objectives in one view.
Navigation
