Meet the new BigPicture navigation
A faster, smarter, and more intuitive way to work is here. We’ve redesigned BigPicture navigation to give you a smoother experience and better access to what matters most.
→ Discover what’s new, explore key improvements, and review feature name updates on the New navigation page.
→ The rollout will happen gradually, and the previous navigation will be retired in December 2026.
Add weight (contribution) to OKR
The weight of a child OKR is a numeric value that defines its relative importance or impact when calculating the parent OKR’s overall progress. It allows teams to prioritize high-impact goals over smaller supporting tasks. Instead of treating every child item equally, weighting lets you scale its contribution.
By default, each OKR has a weight of 1 (25%), meaning they are equally important. You can adjust the individual weights to reflect the effort, strategic value, or complexity.
You can assign weights only to sub-themes, sub-objectives, and Key Results that contribute to a parent Strategic theme or parent Objective. Top-level Strategic themes and Objectives do not contribute to any other goal; they are the primary goal themselves.
Add a weight to an OKR
On the OKR creation screen, click the weight value next to Contribution to edit it.
The Contribution to parent Objective modal displays. Type in the new value or use the up/down arrows to increase or decrease the weight.
The app will automatically calculate the contribution.
If you are creating a Strategic theme or Objective without an assigned higher-level parent, you will not be able to add weight to it, as top-level parent OKRs do not require weights. Once you assign a higher-level parent to it, the weight field becomes available.
When creating the first KR for an Objective, its contribution will be 100%, regardless of the weight. However, as you add more KRs, the contribution of each KR will decrease.
It is possible to assign 0 to the weight. A weight of 0 means the child OKR's progress does not contribute to the progress of its parent Strategic theme or Objective.
