OKR: Objectives and Key Results

objectives and key results method

A strategic target and task system

A set of management tools and methods to clarify goals and track their completion

Invented by Intel Corporation

A clear goal that requires extreme focus

Quantify several key results for this goal

Target

key results

Before setting OKRs, first clarify your or your company’s mission

First set the company level OKR, then department OKR, and personal OKR

Set a goal that must be challenging

After setting the goal, set 3-4 key results for the goal that can measure whether the goal is achieved.

After setting the key results, set an initial confidence index for each key result

Goals should be clear and inspiring

Goals must have a time limit, and having a definite deadline is more conducive to goal achievement.

The goals are achieved by an independent team, that is, the main body of execution must be clear

Every Monday, the team meets to take stock of OKRs to clarify what tasks they are responsible for completing this week.

Every Friday, hold a “victory meeting” where each team can present and celebrate the results of the week’s work

Setting multiple goals without prioritizing them

Lack of adequate communication, resulting in other team members not accurately understanding the goals

There is no specific plan to implement the goals, just empty talk about the goals

Instead of spending time on important things, you do a lot of things that deviate from your goals.
