Frequently Asked Questions
How many OKRs should a product team have?+
Two to three objectives with two to four key results each. More than that dilutes focus. If everything is a priority, nothing is.
What is the difference between OKRs and KPIs?+
KPIs are ongoing health metrics you monitor continuously (e.g., uptime, churn rate). OKRs are time-bound goals for improvement. A KPI tells you the current state. An OKR commits you to changing that state. For a detailed decision matrix, see the OKRs vs KPIs comparison.
Should key results be stretch goals?+
Yes. The standard guidance is that scoring 0.7 on a key result represents strong performance. If your team consistently scores 1.0, your targets are not ambitious enough.
How often should we update OKR progress?+
Score formally at end of quarter. Update confidence ratings weekly. Run a structured mid-quarter check-in at week 6 or 7. ---
