OKRs (Objectives and Key Results)

OKRs, or Objectives and Key Results, are a goal-setting framework in which each qualitative Objective—a clear statement of what to achieve—is paired with a few measurable Key Results that show whether it has been reached, giving teams focus, alignment, and a shared way to track progress.

An Objective describes an ambitious, memorable aim. Its Key Results are two to five metrics that make success unambiguous. Set for a quarter or a cycle, OKRs cascade loosely from company to team so that local goals support the whole without dictating every step.

The value lies in transparency and stretch. Because OKRs are visible across teams, effort aligns without heavy coordination, and because targets are ambitious, partial achievement is expected rather than punished. Grading at cycle-end informs the next round.
