The right tool for your goals
[OKRs](https://www.tability.io/okrs/what-are-okrs-definition) are a powerful way to drive focus — but only if the tool you use supports your workflow instead of getting in the way. The challenge? Some tools are great for small teams but fall short at scale, while others are built for enterprise complexity and can be overkill for startups. In this comparison, we'll take a closer look at Jira Align, WorkBoard, and Tability, focusing on key factors like usability, growth readiness, integration options, security features, pricing models, and support quality — so you can find the best fit, not just the most feature-packed option.
