About this template

This plan divides the OKRs between measurable and non-measurable outcomes. The big issues when a project takes time to ship is that you may not be able to track impact before the following quarter.

The solution is to track both confidence on the work being done, and leading indicators of success.

Make it work for your team

01

Set your baseline. Check where you are today, then choose targets that stretch your team.

02

Agree on ownership. Give each key result a clear owner and a source of data.

03

Check in every week. Review the numbers, share confidence, and decide what needs attention.
