Improving your Key Results

Ask yourself, "If we accomplish our Key Results, will we achieve our Objective?"

Committed OKRs

Committed OKRs are goals your team agrees to achieve. These OKR are critical to your future success. Everything revolves around achieving this type of OKR within a 90-day window. 


Example:

Objective: Hit sales target for Q1.

KR1: Land $2M in sales by the end of Q1.

KR2: Each sales team member lands $500k or more in bookings.

KR3: Half of the sales team achieves or exceeds the quota.

KR4: Make 30% of our sales from upsells and cross-sells.

KR5: Attend 2 networking events by the end of Q1.



Aspirational OKRs

Aspirational OKRs push teams to stretch bnecause they are much harder to accomplish. They cause teams to think and act differently and think outside the box. The goal is that even if you only achieve 70% of your Aspirational OKRs, you are still doing great. 



Learning OKRs

Learning OKRs are essentially experiments based on assumptions. Your goal is to prove or disprove your outlined assumptions by the end of 90 days. Figure out what information will give you the answers you need on how to move forward. Then craft your OKR to help you get that information.


Objective: Make the best app possible.

KR1: Talk to 30 current users.

KR2: Figure out their top pain points and why they downloaded. 

KR3: Create a map outlining the pain points that led users to join.

KR4: Track how well the app meets the user's needs that led users to download.
