What are OKRs?
OKRs is short for Objectives and Key Results. It is a collaborative goal-setting protocol for companies, teams, and individuals.
In the author's words: "A management methodology that helps to ensure that the company focuses efforts on the same important issues throughout the organization."
Objective is simply WHAT is to be achieved. These are significant, concrete, action oriented and (ideally) inspirational.
Key Results benchmark and monitor HOW we get to the objective. These are specific and time-bound, aggressive yet realistic, but most of all, measurable and verifiable.
