What is OKR?

What are Objectives and Key Results?

A description of what objectives and Key results (OKR) is all about.

The above image shows the three different components of an OKR with details on the structure of an objective, key results as well as the role of initiatives. Bear in mind that an OKR seldom stands alone, but instead most often is presented in combination with one or two more OKRs.

Working with OKRs

As you can see in this image, working with OKRs is an iterative process where you create, communicate, follow up, score and conduct retrospectives to learn. It all then starts over for the next cycle, but hopefully you and the team have picked up some learnings that allow you to perform even better next time around.
