Using Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) as a goal-setting framework can help your team to be more focused, and track your progress more easily.
This is because they provide an effective combination of an inspiring objective for everyone to commit to, and measurable key results. However, teams that are new to OKRs often have a hard time coming up with the right formulations and the right metrics to measure success.
If you’re in this position and looking to kickstart OKRs in your team, I suggest taking a more pragmatic approach to begin with. Rather than diving straight into metrics, try focusing more on general alignment around goals and the overall outcome.
