contact@okra.muGetting started
Can we see Okra before we decide?
Yes, on this site: the product and how-it-works pages show Okra's real screens, with made-up data. For anything they do not answer, write to us.
What do we need to start?
Microsoft 365, someone to run your OKR programme, and a Microsoft administrator who approves Okra's sign-in and its reading of your directory during onboarding.
We already have OKRs. Can we bring them?
Yes. Send us your current objectives from a spreadsheet, a slide deck or another OKR tool, and we set them up in Okra with you, at no charge.
Which office suites does Okra work with?
Microsoft 365 today. People sign in with their Microsoft work account, and your people, managers and departments come from your Microsoft directory.
Using Okra
What is in a weekly check-in?
A new value, a confidence level, a note and, if needed, what is blocking. Okra reminds the owner when one is due.
Can we follow KPIs too?
Yes. A key result can be a threshold to stay above or below, for the figures a team must hold all quarter.
Do we have to plan by quarter?
No. Each organisation plans by year, by quarter or in its own cycles.
Does it work with Microsoft Teams?
A Microsoft Teams app has been built, and is switched on for your organisation during onboarding. Everything also works in the browser.
Is there an app to install?
No. Okra works in the browser, on a phone as on a computer.
Which languages?
Every screen is in English and French.
The AI
Can we switch the AI off?
Yes, for the whole organisation or for some roles. Everything else keeps working.
What can the AI see?
Only what the person asking can see.
Can the AI change our data?
Only when a person confirms the change it proposes, and the change is recorded with that person's name.
People and HR
Can Okra be used for performance reviews?
No. Okra scores goals, never people, and has nowhere to store a rating, a ranking or pay.
Can leaders see who is behind?
They see which goals are behind, and who owns them. Okra scores the goal, never the person.
Can an objective be private?
Yes. A private objective is hidden from colleagues; the security page lists who still sees it.
IT and security
Is our data kept apart from other organisations' data?
Yes, and that separation is tested before every release; a release that fails does not ship.
Can we export our data?
Yes, whenever you want, in CSV and JSON, and cycle reports in PDF and Excel.
Is there a record of changes?
Yes. Every change is recorded with who made it and when, and the record cannot be edited.
Price and next steps
How much does Okra cost?
Each organisation gets its own quote. It depends mainly on your number of employees, the AI use you need and hosting.
What happens after we write to you?
We answer your questions and send a quote. Then we set Okra up with you and move your current objectives across.
