The superpower of OKRs lies in its simplicity. If you complicate your Objectives and feed in too much information, you have lost the game right at the start. Or if your KRs are a ‘catch it all’ you would stretch yourself thin.
Writing OKRs with clear and measurable metrics is a constant struggle faced by many.
Our experience of having worked with 100s of teams across segments tells us that the problem lies in prioritizing, picking the right outcome metrics and giving it an OKR structure.

Objectives should tell you “ Where would you want to go”? Remember the 3 key Mantras while writing objectives
- Great Objectives have words not numbers
- They should be simple yet powerful so every employee in the company can relate to it
- They must showcase the business value
Guess What? Our Objective Builder prompts you with not just sample objectives but also the right action words that can help you create a massive impact on your teams.
We told you, it’s as simple as A.B…. wait, we did not get to the C yet. So, here you go…
The C of course is getting your Key Results right.
Most often than not, teams ricochet to tasks more than outcomes, while OKRs drive just the opposite mindshift! It emphasises on the outcomes and considers tasks to be a part of the journey, to achieving those outcomes.
Your Key Results should tell you “ How Will You Measure Success?”
Choose Key Results which show you making QUANTIFIED progress from X to Y and not just being in steady state.
With the help of our OKR Builder, you can choose what do you want to measure and how would you define progress? Meaning moving from X State to Y state because progress always means rowing together, in the right direction.
