In this scenario, KR1 is comparatively easier to achieve than KR2 and KR3, requiring less effort and time. To capture this, we assign the following weights to the key results:
KR1: Perform three tests to figure out our position against the current standards (weight: 1, completing it will mean achieving 16,6% of the objective)
KR2 (auto): Improve the website by addressing all findings from the tests (weight: 3, completing it will mean achieving 50% of the objective)
KR3: Conduct five user tests to evaluate accessibility in real-life scenarios (weight: 2, completing it will mean achieving 33,3% of the objective)
Similarly, objectives can have different weights to signify their importance relative to other sub-objectives.
Using Weights in the App
Creating OKRs with Weights
When creating both Key Results (KR) and objectives, the "Contribution" field is present in the form, initially set to 1. You can customize the weight according to the relative importance of the OKR. As you add more KRs, the contribution decreases proportionally.
Top-level objectives do not have weights as they do not contribute to any higher-level objective. Once you select a higher-level objective, the weight field becomes available.
A weight of 0 means the element's progress does not contribute to the progress of its objective.
Editing the weights
After you create a new KR or an objective and land on the Tree view page, you can see the weight along with other information on the side panel:
Alternatively, you can edit the weights on the detail page of any of the sub-objectives andKRs. On each page with a weight assigned, you will have the “Contribution” field in the Info section, which you can edit by clicking the pencil icon.
