OKRs

We’ve created a dedicated app for creating, managing, and achieving OKRs.

Setting goals and analyzing performance are crucial in any business. However, some goals are more effective than others. These days, OKRs are one of the most popular options, across all kinds of industries.

How you set goals has a concrete impact on your business’ performance. Choosing the right methodology for tracking goals is crucial. The goal is to set goals that can effectively be analyzed, tracked, and achieved.

What are OKRs?

OKR stands for objectives and key results. The idea is to break your goals down into two parts:

1. Objectives - What you want to achieve.
2. Key Results - The specific ways you’re going to meet your goals, and metrics to track your progress.

In other words, your objective is your overarching goal. Key results are a way of breaking this down into more specific and manageable targets.

OKRs first emerged in the tech space. Today, they’re a popular framework among all kinds of businesses, organizations, and individuals alike.

Why digitize OKR tracking?

There are many different ways to track OKRs. Many businesses simply use pen and paper. Others may use spreadsheets. However, neither of these methods is totally effective. These manual methods create unnecessary admin work and scope for human error.

Digital platforms offer supercharged OKR tracking.

Digitization empowers you to automate and streamline workflows. Rather than manually tracking your progress, our OKR goal template automatically updates and manages your goals, based on user actions and time-specific rules.

The goal is to save time and money, while also making it easier for you to achieve your goals.

What should an OKR tracking app include?

A basic OKR tracking app has two key features:

• An interface for creating and defining new objectives and key results.
• A system for tracking, managing, and working towards these goals.

This replaces manual tracking methods and centralizes all data around your goals. Ultimately, this means reducing the admin burden required to manage your business goals.

The most effective OKR tools also automate key processes. For instance, they might notify users when key milestones are upcoming or the status of one of your goal changes. Naturally, this requires customization to match your existing business rules and processes.

Real-time notifications in Budibase help to improve oversight, and project outcomes. Instantly view whether or not you’re on track to meet your most urgent goals.
