## Step-by-step

1. ### Enter executive OKRs

   3 to 5 Objectives, each with 3 to 5 measurable, dated, ambitious Key Results. Captured by sponsors.
2. ### Cascade to teams

   Each team links its own OKRs to a parent objective. Tree view rendered instantly.
3. ### Cascade to individuals

   Optional: an employee can explicitly align with team OKRs. Avoids individual goals disconnected from the collective.
4. ### Run the quarterly check-in

   Each KR is updated with a % completion, a colour (green/amber/red), a comment.
5. ### Close the cycle

   At quarter end, final scoring, lessons learned, next quarter's OKRs.

## OKR best practices

| Practice | Impact |
| --- | --- |
| Max 5 KRs per O | Focus energy |
| Numeric KRs | Removes ambiguity |
| 70% reachable ambition | Encourages stretch |
| Short weekly check-in | Keeps attention |
| Not tied to comp | Avoids sandbagging |

## FAQ

   OKRs vs SMART goals?

OKRs are more ambitious and public. SMART are more top-down and private. You can combine them.

   How often should we check in?

Weekly in the team, monthly in the steerco, quarterly in review.

   How do I link OKRs to bonus?

Not recommended. If you must, cap at 30% of variable comp.

   Can I archive an abandoned OKR?

Yes. The wrap-up stays traced in the report, distinct from "achieved" ones.
