FAQs & More Resources
Can I use Cascade as my OKR sofftware?
Yes - OKRs are natively supported in Cascade. The key difference between Cascade and OKR only software is that Cascade supports OKRs as one of several strategy models that you can implement across your organization
Why would I want to support more than just OKRs?
OKRs are great for team level execution, but don't work as well for true corporate strategy. There are often better models or lenses for strategy, like the Balanced Scorecard or Hoshin Kanri. Cascade allows you to mix both together.
Will users find it difficult to move from traditional OKR software to Cascade?
No - when a user is working with OKRs in Cascade, the interface will closely match the experience they are used to in terms of creating and managing those OKRs.
Why are so many OKR software platforms shutting down?
Standalone OKR software is becoming less and less popular as people realize its limitations for effective strategy execution. The principles of OKRs remain strong, but more holistic software solutions are becing demanded by the market.
