Set goals with OKRs (Google re:Work)

Google re:Work · rework.withgoogle.com Free Beginner

Google's own guide to the method it uses: ambitious objectives, key results graded on a 0 to 1.0 scale, a target of 0.6 to 0.7, three to five objectives with about three key results each, and OKRs kept separate from performance evaluation.

  • Grade each key result from 0 to 1.0 and aim for 0.6 to 0.7 on stretch goals.
  • Pick a few objectives with about three key results each.
  • OKRs are not employee evaluations and not a shared to-do list.
