OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) help teams focus on what matters most and measure meaningful progress toward it.
Objectives describe what you want to achieve.
Key Results define how you’ll measure success.
Initiatives and Outcomes represent the work and effects that drive progress toward those Key Results.
In this guide, learn how to configure OKRs in Kiplot by establishing the relevant Objective Groups and Measures for your organization to track OKRs. To understand more about how to use OKRs see Objectives and Key Results.
Objective groups
Objective groups in the OKRs tab allow you to group Objectives. This helps show how key results connect to strategy.
To add a new group under the OKRs tab, navigate to the Configuration page.
Click on the ⨁ Add group button located in the Groups section.
Once you've entered the group name, click the Add button to create the new group. After clicking Add, it will be listed under the Groups section in the OKRs tab.
Objective Groups can be enabled or disabled where necessary.
Measures
Measures are specific, quantifiable metrics used to track progress toward achieving a key result. They are value-driven and indicate whether a key result is being successfully accomplished.
This section is where you establish the Measures your organization will be using to track OKRs.
Click on the ⨁ Add measure button located in the Measures section.
Choose the unit of measure - either Number, Currency, or Percentage - and provide a name for the measure.
You can set up multiple measures to represent key results that use different metrics. For example, you might set up cost, revenue and number of customers as measures, which will be able to drive a single or various objectives.
Measures can be enabled or disabled where necessary.
