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:
Objective: Make our website more accessible
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.

Weights
When

If you’re creating the first KR for an objective, the contribution will be 100%, no matter the weight. But the more KRs you add, the less contribution it will have.
If you’re creating an objective and it doesn’t have any higher-level objective assigned yet, you won’t be able to add weight to it, as it doesn’t make sense for the top-level objectives to have weights. After you select an objective from the dropdown, the weight field would be available.
...
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:
...
When you click on the pencil icon, a dialog appears with a list of all other elements contributing to the higher-level objective, along with the one you’ve just created. You can edit all their weights here.
...
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
...
.
...
Also, on the higher-level objective, in the children section, you can see the weight of each element on its card:
