Your informal alignment <strong>broke at 80.</strong> Here's how to fix it this quarter.

What worked at 50 employees doesn't work at 80. Teams are duplicating efforts, priorities conflict, and you're spending half your time <strong>re-aligning people manually.</strong>

TL;DR

At 80 people, informal alignment hits a wall. Slack threads and all-hands updates can't keep 8+ teams pointed in the same direction. You need a single source of truth for goals that doesn't require you to play telephone. OKRs Tool gives you that in an afternoon — <strong>no IT, no procurement, no consultants.</strong> Free for small teams, $129/mo flat for 51+ with SSO.

The situation

<p>Between 50 and 80 employees, something breaks. The CEO can't personally align every team anymore. Department heads start making conflicting bets. Engineers build features that sales can't sell. Marketing launches campaigns for products that aren't ready.</p><p>You've probably tried fixing this with more meetings. Monday syncs, quarterly planning offsites, Slack channels for cross-functional updates. But the problem isn't communication frequency — it's that <strong>there's no single source of truth</strong> for what actually matters this quarter.</p><p>The informal system worked when everyone could fit in one room. Now you're managing alignment through willpower and follow-up DMs. That's not sustainable, and you know it.</p>
