1. OKR
A guide

2. What is OKR and what’s in it for me?
• Is a management technique for
recurring planning and progress
reporting
• Connects company, team and
personal objectives to
measurable results, making
people move together in right
direction
• Helps keep vision, goals and
objectives always in front of
employees
• Employees get clarity of knowing
what’s expected from them

3. OKR stands for…
• “Objectives” and “Key Results”
• Is a management technique for recurring planning and
progress reporting
• Connects company, team and personal objectives to
measurable results, making people move together in
right direction

4. OKR Structure
Objective Key Results
… is Qualitative … are Quantitative
Example:
Build X skill within the team by Dec’ 14
Example:
Arrange training on X
Get team certified on X
Do a POC to showcase capability on X
• Planned and monitored continuously
• Max 3 Key Results per Objective
• 3-5 Objectives for a person at a time

5. So, Why OKR?
• Simple to use
• Helps keep vision, goals and objectives always in front of
employees
• People start moving towards goals, not small tasks
• Employees get clarity of knowing what’s expected from them

6. Key OKR Practices
• Objectives must contribute to the organization goals – directly or
indirectly
• Objectives must be ambitious – A 60-70% achievement is considered
good, a 100% achievement means it wasn’t challenging enough
• 3-5 objectives – alive at any given point in time
• Up to 3 Key Results to contribute towards each objective

7. Implementation guidance
• OKRs should be part of your role profile / day-to-day work – not
outside of what you do but not routine also
• Keep OKRs sizable – don’t slice them down to specifics
• On-going OKRs – may not have KR end date, but should still be
measurable
• Growth focused – focus on building yourself, not completing the OKRs

8. …a few more
• Ambitious – goals must be uncomfortable and hard to achieve
• OKRs must be reviewed by managers periodically – usually every
month or every quarter
• Each OKR must be of a sizable duration – pick a duration that your
company can comfortably measure
• End date is important – keep it tagged on your desk
• OKRs are live – do not type-in and forget
