Usage

OKR Creation

const okrConfig = {
  objective: 'Improve customer satisfaction',
  level: 'Team',
  team: 'Customer Success',
  period: 'Q1-2026',
  keyResults: [
    {
      description: 'Increase NPS from 45 to 60',
      startValue: 45,
      targetValue: 60,
      metric: 'NPS Score',
      scoringMethod: 'linear'
    },
    {
      description: 'Reduce average response time from 4h to 2h',
      startValue: 4,
      targetValue: 2,
      metric: 'Hours',
      scoringMethod: 'inverse-linear'
    },
    {
      description: 'Achieve 95% customer retention',
      startValue: 90,
      targetValue: 95,
      metric: 'Percentage',
      scoringMethod: 'linear'
    }
  ],
  parentObjective: 'company-customer-experience-okr-001'
};

Alignment Check

const alignmentQuery = {
  scope: 'organization',
  period: 'Q1-2026',
  analysis: {
    checkCascading: true,
    findOrphans: true,
    detectGaps: true,
    measureCoverage: true
  },
  output: {
    report: true,
    visualization: true,
    recommendations: true
  }
};

succession-planning.jsDevelopment goal tracking

Best Practices

  1. Limit Objectives: 3-5 objectives per level maximum
  2. Measurable KRs: All key results must be quantifiable
  3. Ambitious Targets: Set stretch goals (70% attainment is success)
  4. Regular Check-ins: Weekly or bi-weekly progress updates
  5. Transparency: Make OKRs visible across the organization
  6. Separation: Keep OKRs separate from compensation
