10 important OKR Questions

okr deployment

The OKR questions you must answer before deploying OKRs in your organization:

1. Levels: At what level will we set OKRs?
You typically start at the corporate level and set up company OKRs. At this level, your OKRs should be heavily informed by your long-term strategy for the organization. When you have long-term goals that span over the course of a year, you need to choose to use company-level OKRs.

2. Число: Сколько OKR мы установим?
We typically recommend setting a maximum of 3-5 OKRs per team per quarter. This is a maximum, not a minimum – it’s perfectly appropriate to have only 1-2 OKRs.

3. Подсчет очков: How will we score OKRs?
At Google, OKRs are usually graded on a scale of 0.0 to 1.0, 1.0 meaning the objective was fully achieved.

4. Время цикла: How long is an OKRs cycle?
We used 3-month.

5. OKR против KPI: Как отличить OKR от KPI?
When it comes to managing your business though, having great KPIs identified by itself is not enough. OKRs may be new, but every business has a plan and a budget for every year. These plans and corresponding budgets are typically based on projections of KPIs, based on what you did in the past and what you target or expect to achieve this year. This is where OKRs come into play. It is a lot easier to use the travel analog.

6. Tooling: Where do we draft, publish, and track OKRs? What templates do we use?

6. Обзор производительности: Как OKR будут связаны с обзорами эффективности?

8. Выравнивание: Как мы обеспечим согласованность OKR?

9. Снизу вверх: How will we ensure most OKRs originate bottoms-up?

10. Pilot Group: How will we ensure to include OKR enthusiastic people in the pilot group?
