Make these OKRs fit your team

Treat this template as a starting point. Keep the outcomes that match your priorities, adjust the targets and deadlines to reflect your baseline, and remove anything your team cannot influence directly.

Adapt the template or create a plan with AI

You can copy this example into Tability and refine it with your team. If you would rather start from your own context, use embedded AI Mode: describe what your team needs to achieve in a simple prompt and Tability will automatically create a structured OKR plan with objectives, measurable outcomes, and initiatives.

Before publishing, review the AI-generated plan with the people responsible for delivering it:

Replace generic outcomes with measures your team can update consistently
Set ambitious but credible targets using current performance as the baseline
Assign an owner to every outcome and agree on what success looks like
Remove duplicate or activity-based key results that do not prove meaningful progress

The best OKR platform for AI-bullish teams

Tability brings AI into the goal-setting and execution workflow instead of treating it as a separate writing assistant.

Fully agentic: use an OKR agent to review plans, suggest improvements, and monitor execution
