Benchmark
A point of reference that allows you to measure if you are making progress on your target. For example, if your target is to be lose weight, one of your benchmarks would go to the gym once a week. Going to the gym once a week is not necessarily a benchmark. But increasing consistency from 1 day a week to 6 days a week would be a benchmark. Benchmarks help you to measure your progress. Benchmarks make good key results.

Bottom-up OKR
Any OKR that is drafted in response to a higher-level OKR in the organization. With clear information and communication from an organization’s management to the lower levels and visa-versa, the ideal result is more engagement and alignment.

Business As Usual
The day-to-day operations of an organization. OKRs describe what we want to build, change or reinvent. That’s why OKRs are the opposite of “business as usual.” The term “BAU” is often used for “business as usual.”
