Do I need to change my processes to use TargetBoard?

TargetBoard is designed to adjust to your existing progress automatically. No changes are required. It doesn't matter if you use Sprints or Kanban. It doesn't matter whether you planning with story points or not. It doesn't matter if you are missing data or if your data is not updated regularly. TargetBoard will automatically adjust to provide you with the best experience.

What if my data quality isn't great?

Not a problem. We know that data is messy, late, and incomplete. TargetBoard is specifically designed to help improve the quality of your data. This means that with TargetBoard, you get an exceptionally great reporting and analytics experience even when your data is less than perfect.

How quickly can I get value from TargetBoard?

What typically takes weeks or even months with BI tools or platforms like LinearB and Jellyfish, TargetBoard surfaces almost immediately — giving you faster ROI and a decisive advantage.

What is required to set up TargetBoard?

TargetBoard is a Risk-Free Analytics Platform. You don't need to do any integration work or set up any infrastructure. We don't require any effort from anyone on your team other than to provide the credentials that allow us to connect to your systems. Our onboarding playbook and customer success team will make sure you and your team are trained and have complete confidence in the data.

Am I required to write code or SQL?

TargetBoard is designed as a pure no-code solution. No coding or SQL skills are required to enjoy the full power of the product.

How long does it take to get TargetBoard up and running?

KPIs & Performance

Which KPIs are supported?

TargetBoard automatically creates a KPI catalog that is designed and personalized for your needs. It includes all relevant KPIs for the data you connected, based on industry best practices. You can easily adjust, customize, or add additional KPIs as needed.

Can I customize my KPI framework?

Yes. TargetBoard includes an out-of-the-box KPI catalog to help you get started quickly, but every framework can be customized. You can adapt existing KPIs or define new ones to reflect your strategy, processes, and data environment — ensuring the metrics you track are always aligned with your goals.

How often are KPIs updated/refreshed?

KPIs in TargetBoard are refreshed continuously based on the data sources they connect to. Most integrations update in near real time, while others sync on a scheduled basis. This ensures your dashboards always reflect the most current and accurate view of performance.

Integrations & Extensibility

Which systems can you integrate with?

Our list of supported integrations is constantly growing. TargetBoard can easily integrate into any customer system or custom data source. For more details, check out our integrations page.

Do I have to change or clean my data to use TargetBoard?

No. TargetBoard is built to work with your existing data as it is. While cleaner data can improve insights, the platform includes governance and alignment features that help you make progress even if your data isn’t perfect.

Does TargetBoard have an API?

Yes. All your data is available through our API, and you can even create automations and workflows using our Zapier app.

Can I embed TargetBoard on other systems?

Yes. TargetBoard cards and boards can be loaded as iframes or plug-ins into other systems, so you can get your KPI data where you need it, for example, backstage.io.

Can I embed TargetBoard data into my BI tool?

Yes. TargetBoard reports and metric cards can be embedded into any BI or Analytics platform, such as Tableau, Looker, and Power BI. As well as into additional systems such as Notion or Slack for your convenience.

Yes. TargetBoard is designed to connect with a wide range of data sources, and our team can support custom integrations if your system isn’t on the standard list. We’ll work with you to ensure your data flows seamlessly into the platform.

Can I connect multiple data sources at once?

Yes. This is exactly why TargetBoard exists: to eliminate siloed, conflicting data from across all your systems. It is designed to connect to multiple data sources simultaneously, unifying your metrics and standardizing your KPIs into a single, consistent source of truth.

Security & Compliance

Is TargetBoard safe?

The safety of our customers' data comes first. TargetBoard is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified. It supports enterprise-grade security features, including OKTA, SSO, VPC hosting, and a built-in governance layer for user permissions. Please review our security page for more details.

Where is my data stored?

TargetBoard offers flexible deployment options — you can run securely in the cloud, within your own VPC, or fully on-prem. No data or code ever leaves your environment. All deployments meet enterprise security standards (ISO, SOC) with role-based governance to protect sensitive HR, finance, and product data. With built-in identity management (OKTA) and audit-ready architecture, your data stays safe, compliant, and under your control.

Do you comply with standards like SOC 2 / GDPR?

Yes. TargetBoard is ISO 27001 certified and has completed SOC 2 Type 2, demonstrating our adherence to globally recognized standards for information security and operational excellence. We also comply with GDPR requirements to ensure that personal data is handled lawfully, transparently, and securely.

Does TargetBoard support flexible deployment options?

Yes. TargetBoard supports multiple deployment models to meet your security, compliance, and data residency needs — from multi-tenant SaaS to single-tenant, Bring Your Own Cloud, and secure self-hosted connectors. Unlike legacy BI platforms, there’s no heavy on-premise installation required. Learn more about flexible deployment.

Pricing & Commercial

Is there a free trial or a proof of concept available?

Targetboard offers a proof-of-concept (POC) trial that lets customers effectively “try before you buy.” Cosats are determined individually based on the scope and requirements involved.

How is TargetBoard priced?

We believe data should be accessible to everyone in your organization. That’s why our pricing is based on the type and volume of data in your contract—not on the number of users or seats. This way, costs stay predictable, affordable, and flexible, while your teams can share data freely without worrying about added licenses.

How is TargetBoard different from Jellyfish?

Jellyfish is finance-heavy and optimized for enterprise-level portfolio planning, which can result in lengthy setup cycles and limited agility. TargetBoard delivers cross-functional visibility across Engineering, Product, GTM, HR, and RevOps—without enterprise overhead. We’re built for fast-growing organizations that need KPI alignment across every department, with clarity delivered in days, not months.

How is TargetBoard different from Linearb?

LinearB focuses on developer workflow and velocity—great for tracking engineering activity, but limited for leaders outside of R&D. TargetBoard scales beyond Engineering to include Product, GTM, RevOps, HR, and more. We connect delivery metrics to company-wide KPIs and business goals, giving executives a single, trusted view of impact across the entire organization.
