OKR

OKR stands for Objectives and Key Results. It is a method of defining and tracking objectives and their outcomes.

Its main goal is to connect company, team and personal objectives to measurable results, making people move together in the right direction. A big part of OKR is making sure each individual knows what's expected of them at work. OKRs are kept public in front of everyone so that teams move in one direction and know what others are focusing on.

Implementation

Objectives are what the organization or individual wants to accomplish, and are typically subjective/qualitative.[1] Key results are concrete, specific, and measurable. They describe how you will accomplish the related objective, and measure whether you accomplished the objective or not.[2]

History and usage

OKRs were invented at Intel, and made popular by John Doerr.[3] OKRs and OKR tools[4] are used today by many companies, including Google,[5] LinkedIn,[6] Twitter,[7] and Zynga.[8]
