OKR methodology, some tips

Stumbling accross a well summarized method for dealing with OKR (Objectives and Key Results)

OKR, is a methodology I’ve been using, and is a great tool to:

• ask yourself questions about the vision and the direction you want to set for your company

• breakdown the vision into goals down to elementary tasks

Vision > Objectives > Key Results > Projects > Tasks

Easier said than done, because creating well defined and understood objectives and KR is difficult.

Two formulas shared by David Theil1 have interested me in his article:

1. Objective = We + action + direction + why.

2. KR = We + action + number + outcome (+ hypothesis)

Time to give it a try!
