Is there an OKR tool for small teams that also tracks growth experiments?
Most OKR tools track goals and their progress, not the experiments that move them. Theanna does both for small teams: one company target, up to 3 goals, and the experiments under each, with results read from your own tools. Tability and Perdoo are strong OKR tools if you mainly need goal tracking.
By Nomiki Petrolla, founder of Theanna
How do OKRs map to a company target and goals?
OKRs set objectives and the key results that show you hit them. Theanna uses the same idea in plain words: one company target the whole team is growing, and up to 3 goals that get you there, each with its own number.
The difference is the layer underneath. Under every goal sit the experiments your team runs to move its number, each with a start number, an end date and a clear result.
“There's one number and it's on all of you.”
Company objective
- In Theanna:
- Company target
- What it is:
- The one number the business is growing, with a date
Objective
- In Theanna:
- Goal (up to 3)
- What it is:
- A big bet on how you'll hit the target
Key result
- In Theanna:
- The goal's number
- What it is:
- How you know the bet is paying off
Initiatives
- In Theanna:
- Experiments
- What it is:
- The small tests that move the goal's number, each with a clear result
Where do OKR tools stop for a small team?
- They show whether a key result is on track, but not which piece of work moved it.
- The work under a goal lives somewhere else: a task board, a spreadsheet or someone's head.
- Nobody can say which test to repeat and which to stop, so the next quarter starts from guesses again.

- Where progress comes from:
- Read from Stripe, Google Analytics, Calendly, HubSpot and more
- Tracks experiments?:
- Yes: every goal has its experiments, ranked by what's working
A spreadsheet
- Best for:
- Starting free
- Where progress comes from:
- Typed in by hand
- Tracks experiments?:
- Only if someone keeps it up
How do you set up goals and experiments for a small team?
- 01
Pick one company target
Revenue, active users or paying customers, with a date. For example, $1M ARR by December.
- 02
Choose up to 3 goals
The big bets, like outbound pipeline or partner revenue. Give each a number and one owner.
- 03
Put 2 or 3 experiments under each goal
Small tests with a start number, an end date and a clear result.
- 04
Check in every week from your tools
Read each number from where it lives, so nobody types it in and nobody chases updates.
- 05
Review every 3 weeks
Keep what worked, stop what didn't, and let the next experiments build on the winners.
“The point is to track your own numbers consistently, week over week, so you can see the trajectory.”
Questions teams ask
Is Theanna an OKR tool?
No. It sets one target and up to 3 goals, like OKRs do. But each goal comes with experiments and real numbers from your tools, not check-in forms.
What's the best OKR tool for a small team?
If you mainly need goals and check-ins, Tability and Perdoo are both strong, and Perdoo is free for up to 5 people. If you also want to track the experiments that move each goal, Theanna is built for that.
Do small teams need OKRs?
They need one number everyone works toward and a short list of bets to get there. That's the useful part of OKRs. A team of 2 to 5 rarely needs the full quarterly OKR process.
How many goals should a small team have?
Up to 3. Fewer goals means each one gets real experiments behind it, and everyone can say what the team is working on.
What's the price of Theanna for teams?
The Team plan starts at $999 a month for up to 3 people. Bigger teams book a demo.
