About the OKR module

OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) are a goal-setting framework used by organizations to align efforts and measure progress. Objectives are qualitative, aspirational goals that describe what you want to achieve, while Key Results are quantitative metrics that track how you will measure success.

The OKR module lets you create and track your OKRs to drive focus, transparency, and accountability within teams and across your organization.

The module houses all the features and functionalities you need to set and track OKR across individual initiatives and multiple portfolios:

  • A holistic view of your company's Objectives, sub-objectives, and Key Results in a tree-like structure with customizable column layouts.

  • OKR type-level hierarchical tree-like view showing progress on specific Objectives and their respective Key Results.

  • Dashboard with statistics to help you assess your team's progress in achieving their OKRs.

  • Custom OKR types and labels.

  • Automated and manual OKR progress tracking. OKRS can also be visualized and tracked in the Gantt module.

The OKR module also offers highly customizable security options, including basic and advanced permission setups that allow you to customize individual users' access and actions they can perform within the module. You can also restrict your OKRs to prevent other app users from making any changes to them.

The OKR module works on any box level, meaning you can add and track OKRs created specifically for your projects, as well as programs and portfolios.

The video presents a short overview of the OKR module.
