Planning
OKR planning template
Objectives with measurable key results and the initiatives that should move them.
What it is
OKRs, short for objectives and key results, are a goal-setting method that started at Intel and spread through Google. An objective says what you want to achieve. Its key results say how you will measure it, with numbers. Initiatives are the work you expect to move those numbers.
When to use it
- At the start of a quarter or a year
- When a team works hard but can't say what it achieved
- To link team goals to company goals
How to run it
- 01
Write two or three objectives
Each one is a short goal in words, like "Grow active teams". With more than three, none of them gets real attention.
- 02
Add key results with numbers
Give each objective up to three key results with a start and a target, like "Activation 35% to 45%".
- 03
List initiatives
In the last column, write the projects you expect to move the numbers. Keep them apart from the key results.
- 04
Check in every few weeks
Update each key result and replace initiatives that are not moving anything.
