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
