# Lattice, 15Five, and Betterworks

> A practical comparison of Lattice, 15Five and Betterworks argues that their most important difference is architectural, not cosmetic. Betterworks began in 2013 as an enterprise goal-setting product inspired by OKRs and backed by John Doerr, who introduced the framework to Google. Lattice and 15Five now offer capable OKR tooling, but place it inside broader systems centered on people operations and recurring manager conversations. Buyers should choose according to the operating habit they most need to build: strategy-to-execution alignment, integrated people management, or a weekly manager cadence.

## Achievements

- Betterworks says its platform manages millions of goals, milestones and performance conversations across a global user base.
- Lattice integrates OKRs with performance conversations, one-on-ones and workplace tools including Jira, Salesforce and Slack.
- 15Five connects company, team and individual OKRs with weekly check-ins, feedback and performance reviews.

## Latest updates

- **2026-08** — All three companies publicly market goal or OKR capabilities within broader performance-management offerings.
