It seeks to develop methods to improve under-performing areas as well.

The final step outlined in the OKR is to establish a detailed success criterion for three major projects within four weeks. Specific initiatives under this phase include determining detailed criteria per project, identifying three major projects necessitating such success criteria, and confirming that the set standards by the deadline.

Taken together, this OKR portrays a clear roadmap to improvement in project management methodology. It seeks to normalize efficient tracking systems, meet high KPI targets, and provide detailed success criteria for major projects with strict timelines.
