Keep everyone focused and up to speed, automatically

Goal Stories solve cross-team coordination by rallying everyone around a shared vision, and automatically keeping them up to speed on the big picture.

  • AI-enhanced templates

    AI-enhanced templates take the pain out of writing updates by summarizing progress across check-ins, sub-goals, and connected tools like GitHub and Jira.

Markdown friendly

Paste and auto-expand Markdown, or use Markdown formatting right in Steady's rich text editor.

Works where you do

Goal reminders and notifications are broadcast to communication tools like Slack, Teams, and email.

OKRs, MBOs, and more

Goal Stories work with popular methods like OKRs and MBOs, and informal approaches too.

Centralized context

Dedicated goal pages show a complete log of updates, making it easy for anyone to get up to speed.

Timezone aware

Steady gives everyone working across timezones the information they need in their own local time.

Comments & Reactions

Goal updates support comments, so your team can ask follow up questions or add more context.

“Steady has helped change the way team members organize their days, focusing more on goals and less on specific tickets or to-dos. It has also allowed us to optimize time spent during stand-up so more time can be spent coding.”
