Frequently asked questions

Is this OKR template free?

Yes — completely free. Enter your email above and we will email you the template link within 1 minute. Make a copy to your Drive and start your next quarter’s planning immediately.

How many OKRs should we set per quarter?

3 objectives maximum, with 3 to 5 key results each. More than that dilutes focus. The companies that achieve the most with OKRs consistently resist the temptation to track everything.

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.
