Case Study: GDM improves alignment and OKR adoption with Oboard and Jira

GDM saves 260 hours a year with Oboard

GDM, a global seed technology company, faced challenges with departmental misalignment, resistance to change, and inefficient manual tracking of goals after decades of entrenched project management practices. To address this, they adopted the OKR framework and turned to the vendor Oboard, utilizing its OKR Board for Jira product to help connect daily work to strategic objectives.

Oboard's solution integrated with Jira to create a single source of truth, automating progress tracking and providing visibility into how tasks contributed to company goals. This saved an estimated 260 hours annually in manual reporting and significantly improved alignment across departments and external vendors. The implementation by Oboard supported a cultural shift towards an outcome-driven mindset, enhancing operational efficiency and strategic clarity for GDM.
