Overview
Based on "Measure What Matters" by John Doerr, who brought OKRs from Intel to Google. Doerr's core distinction: Objectives are the "what" (inspirational, qualitative), Key Results are the "how we know" (measurable, binary at quarter end). CFRs - Conversations, Feedback, Recognition - are what make OKRs work in practice.
Two types of OKRs (Doerr):
- Committed OKRs - Must be achieved 100%. Missing them requires explanation.
- Aspirational OKRs - Stretch goals. 70% attainment is success. 100% means you aimed too low.
Workflow
Step 1: Identify the type
Ask: is this a committed OKR (must hit) or aspirational (stretch)? This changes how you write the Key Results.
Step 2: Write the Objective
- Inspirational and qualitative
- Memorable - a team should be able to recite it
- Time-bound to the quarter
- Answers: "What do we want to be true in 90 days?"
