Overview
Operately is an open-source company operating system that combines goals and OKRs, projects, team spaces, documents, discussions, and recurring check-ins, with CLI, API, and agent-skill access.
Features and best fit
Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:
Connect company goals and OKRs directly to project execution
Company-level goals can be linked to projects and daily work so strategic progress and execution live in the same system.
Turn recurring check-ins and discussions into an operating cadence
Project check-ins, automated progress updates, message boards, and documents provide a repeatable rhythm for reporting and decisions.
For teams that want operating structure rather than a blank project-management canvas
It fits organizations that prefer built-in goal reviews and accountability workflows instead of designing their operating system from scratch.

Separate Apache-2.0 code from Enterprise Edition code
Regular code is Apache-2.0, while the ee directory is subject to the Operately Enterprise Edition License. Verify edition boundaries for required features.

Supplemental curator note
Operately is more opinionated than a generic task manager, with built-in goal reviews and recurring check-ins. The root license covers regular code under Apache-2.0, while the `ee` directory uses an Enterprise Edition License.
