Clone OKR

Overview

Cloning OKRs lets you quickly replicate existing OKRs for a new cycle or project, saving time and effort. This is especially useful when the Objectives and Key Results are similar or carry over from one period to the next.

Cloning (and rescheduling) helps maintain consistency, ensures alignment, and makes it easier to adapt to previous goals without starting from scratch. It also promotes efficiency and reduces the risk of errors when setting new OKRs.

Clone OKR

Once your OKR is cloned, it will be placed in the selected period. On the cloned OKR's detail page (the Info section), you'll find a link to the original OKR from which it was cloned.

You can clone an OKR, even if it is closed.

You can clone OKR on the following pages:
