How To Write Effective OKRs

To write good OKRs, you only need to use a simple formula.

Here’s the OKR process:

I will: (your objective)

As measured by: (your key results)

But before we use this formula, here are some OKR best practices to keep in mind when writing OKRs:

• Objectives should be inspiring or ambitious
• Always set timeframes for your objectives
• Ideally, each individual, team or department should have three to five objectives
• Key results should have measurable outcomes 
• Have around three to five key results for each objective
