Atlassian Objectives and Key Results Overview

  • Updated February 11, 2026

Atlassian Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) is a goal-setting framework implemented across Atlassian tools like Jira, Confluence, and Atlas Goals. It helps organizations define clear objectives, align teams, and track measurable outcomes.

Deep integration with work items, projects, and documentation enables continuous visibility, alignment, and progress tracking across teams and leadership levels.

Key Features

  • Integrated OKR Framework: Define and manage objectives and key results directly within Jira, Confluence, and Atlas.
  • Goal-to-Work Linking: Connect OKRs to epics, issues, and projects for real-time progress tracking.
  • Team and Enterprise Alignment: Roll up team-level OKRs to departmental and organizational goals.
  • Templates and Playbooks: Pre-built OKR templates and best-practice guides for faster adoption.
  • Visibility and Transparency: Share OKR status across teams with dashboards and shared pages.

Pros

Competitor

Pros
Profit.co Atlassian OKRs benefit from native Jira and Confluence integration, reducing the need for separate tools. Teams already using Atlassian avoid extra licensing costs and complex onboarding. The learning curve is lower for existing users, and OKRs stay closely connected to actual delivery work rather than living in a separate goal system.
WorkBoard Compared to WorkBoard’s enterprise-first pricing, Atlassian offers more accessible entry points through free and standard plans. Its flexibility allows teams to start lightweight and scale gradually, making it easier for mid-sized organizations to adopt OKRs without committing to heavy upfront configuration.
Ally.io Atlassian’s OKR approach is tightly linked to execution in Jira, which helps reduce the strategy–execution gap. Unlike Ally.io, which often focuses on leadership dashboards, Atlassian emphasizes day-to-day work visibility, making OKRs more actionable for delivery teams.
Perdoo Atlassian provides stronger ecosystem depth with documentation, agile planning, and service management in one platform. This breadth allows OKRs to connect with knowledge sharing and project tracking, whereas Perdoo typically requires integrations to achieve similar workflow coverage.
Lattice Unlike Lattice’s HR-centric focus, Atlassian OKRs are built for product, engineering, and IT teams. This makes it more practical for organizations where OKRs must directly reflect delivery milestones, technical initiatives, and agile planning rather than performance reviews alone.

Cons

Competitor

Cons
Profit.co Profit.co offers a more dedicated, out-of-the-box OKR experience with built-in coaching and scoring. Atlassian’s approach can feel fragmented, requiring configuration across multiple tools, which may slow adoption for teams looking for a single-purpose OKR platform.
WorkBoard WorkBoard provides more advanced executive reporting and strategy visualization. Atlassian OKRs may require additional setup or add-ons to match the same level of C-suite dashboards, especially in very large enterprises with complex strategic hierarchies.
Ally.io Ally.io delivers more opinionated OKR workflows and leadership check-ins. Atlassian’s flexibility can be a drawback for organizations that want strict OKR governance and structured cadence without designing their own processes.
Perdoo Perdoo focuses heavily on simplicity and OKR clarity. Atlassian’s broad feature set and navigation may feel overwhelming for non-technical teams, particularly those not already familiar with Jira or Confluence interfaces.
Lattice Lattice integrates OKRs tightly with performance management and employee feedback. Atlassian lacks native HR performance features, meaning organizations seeking people-focused OKRs must rely on integrations or separate HR platforms.
