Frequently asked questions

How do we score OKRs at the end of the quarter?

Score each key result on a 0 to 1 scale — 0 meaning no progress, 1 meaning fully achieved. A score of 0.6 to 0.7 is considered a success in most OKR frameworks, which are designed to be stretching.

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.
