Outlook
• Current 52 week window: $2.2m (up from $1.72m in Q1)
• $75k collected in 2 weeks of April. $140k in outstanding invoices.
• Outlook is good, but we will see a drop in summer, Q1 was just too amazing.

Marketing

New Objectives Overview
• Had been in the making for a long time, finally shipped in January
• Filtering, browsing and better cycle picker
• Still relies on old screens for viewing and editing
![Page 24: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Messages Overhaul• Message overhaul had to get prioritised due to bugs
• Better, purist design
• Added endless scrolling, and filtering. Dropped downvotes. Prototyping @mentions.
• In great position to expand feature further
• But: We’re putting messages-work on hold for a few weeks in favour of objectives
![Page 26: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Profile Page V1.5• Profile had to get reworked because of the message-
rewrite
• Looks almost the same.
• But the manage-menu is new and much better, and so are the integrated messages
• Lots of ugly old code now gone as well
• More work required for *real* overhaul. Probably in Q3.
![Page 28: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Release Notes Overlay

Some small improvements

![Page 37: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
New Berlin HQ
![Page 38: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The new office is huge! But we are going to fill it quickly.
![Page 39: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Team Growth
• We signed three new contracts, starting dates in June and July!
• Continuing looking, two very promising Angular developers in the pipeline
![Page 40: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Party on April 23rd, 7pm!
![Page 41: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Still: Developers needed!• Ingo started at uni, leaving a gap in our UI team
• Our backend people are still working on many internal projects to clean up processes and reduce code problems
• So, we need to pick mid-sized features that require little backend work, and ideally little design
• And yes, we’re hiring and interviewing too!
![Page 42: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Features in progressA peek into the SI workshop
![Page 43: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
User Import
• BambooHR: Still work in progress.
• CSV/Excel Import should be much easier to add (to clients as well, we hope)
• Afterwards look at Workday, currently a manual process
![Page 44: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• The “objectives browser” is close to completion
• Create & Edit-Screens are almost done as well
• Comments are now really well-integrated
• But a lot of UI work still needs to be done
• User Testing with customers can start in two weeks
Objectives Overhaul
![Page 45: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Features planned…on top of small improvements and bugfixes
![Page 46: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Considerations• So many projects to pick from, need to strike balance
• Keep existing & growing clients
• Must attract evaluators, look great for marketing
• Fix architecture and reduce code debt
• Improve supportability
• Prioritise some easy win
• We currently have a shortage of backend-capacity
![Page 47: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Considerations
• Roadmaps change!
• Nothing of the following features is guaranteed to ship, better ideas may pop up
• But the following list is a good approximation
• Definitely no ETA’s!
![Page 48: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Cycle Admin Rewrite• Guidance feature and cycle roadmap are missing
from cycle lists
• Performance currently suffers when switching from overview to edit-cycle
• Cycle-HR and 360-Ratings “too beta to launch”
• A rewrite solves all 3 problems, and makes screens prettier and more interactive
![Page 49: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
• Develop OKR
• Work on Company/ team objectives
• Work on Alignment
Objectives: Next Steps
![Page 50: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
User Management
• Edit-User-Overlay to speed up common tasks
• “Hipster view” tab like on our SI “about us” page
• Display user statistics over time
• Fairly easy to code, nice screenshots for marketing, and very useful for end users too
![Page 51: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Browser Plugin
• We need to get better integrated with end users
• iOS App is one shot at it, the browser plugin is the other
• Could be easy, could be hard - too early to tell
• Promising first attempt during the 2014 Hackathon
![Page 52: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Dashboard Preparations• Rewriting Dashboard is huge undertaking
• Outside Q2 scope
• But we have to get started!
• Key ingredient is the todo-list, so we start with that
• Later on, we’ll combine cycle roadmap, guidance feature, timeline view and todo list in some awesome way. But not in Q2 yet
![Page 53: Q1 2015 Company Update - All hands meeting April 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55ab16011a28abe24b8b466d/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
