- 3
Check in mid-quarter
Update progress and a confidence score every two weeks so you can course-correct before it's too late.
- 4
Grade and reflect
At quarter end, score each key result and capture what you learned for the next cycle.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between an objective and a key result?
The objective is the qualitative, inspiring 'what' you want to achieve. Key results are the measurable outcomes that prove you got there. If a key result isn't a number you can grade, rewrite it.
How many OKRs should a team have?
Keep it tight: one to three objectives, each with two to four key results. More than that and focus dissolves — OKRs are about choosing what matters, not listing everything you'll do.
Should OKRs be tied to performance reviews?
Be careful here. If OKRs directly drive ratings and pay, people set easy targets. Most teams keep ambitious OKRs separate from compensation and grade them as a learning tool.
