OKR stands for Objective & Key Result, a popular goal setting framework.

Objective = A high-level area of focus.

• Don't be too vague. E.g. Grow professionally ❌ → Improve data analytics skills ✅
• Have no more than 3 objectives to keep focus.

Key Result = A measurable goal for an objective.

• Can either be an output (do X) or outcome (achieve X). I recommend having both.
• Have no more than 3 key results under an objective.

Timeframe

OKRs are reviewed on a quarterly basis because a year is too long to track progress, and a month is too short to get anything done.
