Set the right cadence for your OKRs
Setting the right cadence for your OKRs is defined by measurable targets that occur within rhythmic time frames. Quarterly, every three months beginning in January is most common. However, objectives on any level can always be stretched quarter over quarter if the impact on the success of an objective is more long-term. While quarterly is recommended, it is important the cadence matches the culture of the business. The key to OKRs is the transition from annual assessments to more frequent and transparent goal setting.

Define realistic team and individual priorities
Every OKR should reflect realistic priorities achievable in a three-month-cycle that are still challenging. Make sure to have conversations that answer what success means in relation to how each team needs to support the others. Having OKRs on both a team and individual level is highly essential for company alignment. One of the key elements of using the OKR methodology is to align core values and objectives across teams and organizations.

It isn’t a task list, don’t create too many OKRs
Setting 3 OKRs each quarter is a good place for teams and organizations to start. Most of these objectives will have 2-4 results and a clear owner that will be held accountable for them. By setting a limited number of OKRs, it directs teams to focus on priorities in order to produce better results.
