Frequently asked questions

Can we align individual OKRs with company OKRs?

Yes. The template has three levels — company, team, and individual — with a cascade view that shows how each individual key result connects to the company objectives above it.

How often should we review OKRs?

Weekly confidence score updates and a formal monthly review. The end-of-quarter retrospective is where scoring happens and the following quarter’s OKRs are set.

Can we use this for a company of any size?

Yes. The template works equally well for a solo founder with 3 personal objectives and a team of 50 with cascading OKRs across departments. Adjust the number of tabs to match your team structure.
