OKR template to improve accuracy of project estimations

Your OKR template

This OKR aims to improve the accuracy of project estimations. Firstly, part of the objective is to implement a new estimation tool and ensure it receives positive feedback from at least 75% of users. This will be achieved by conducting a user feedback survey, providing training to users, and selecting a tool that is compatible with current systems.

Secondly, the objective seeks to reduce differences between project estimates and actual results by 20%. This will be done through comparing past projects for estimation, implementing a detailed management plan, and continuously monitoring and adjusting estimates as necessary.

Another major part of the objective is to ensure completion of advanced estimation training for relevant staff. Monitoring of staff's progress will be performed after the training, identification of staff needing advanced training, and scheduling suitable training sessions.

Overall, these steps are likely to result in more accurate project time and cost estimates, improving efficiency, and reducing resource wastage.
