Understanding OKRs

OKRs (objectives and key results) connect high-level goals to measurable outcomes and day-to-day work. Use them to align the team each quarter and track progress from the OKRs page.

Who this is for

All workspace members can view OKRs. Editors and admins create objectives, key results, and planning sessions.

Before you start

  • Access to OKRs from the sidebar.

  • A planning session for the current quarter (create one if none exists).

Steps

  1. Open OKRs from the sidebar.

  2. Review objectives and key results for the active planning session.

  3. Link tasks to key results from the Tasks area for traceable delivery.

  4. Use OKR planning sessions on the OKRs page to align quarterly objectives.

  5. Assign owners and due dates on each key result so progress is visible to the team.

  6. Open Task Management in Elevale for subtasks, assignees, and status workflows on linked work.

What you should see

Objectives show key results with owners, confidence, and progress. Linked tasks roll up into key result status. The team shares one view of quarterly priorities.

Troubleshooting

  • I cannot create a planning session Confirm you have editor or admin access. Viewers can read OKRs but cannot add sessions or objectives.

  • Tasks do not appear on a key result Open the task and link it to the objective or key result from the task detail panel.

  • Progress looks stale Run a weekly check-in on the OKRs page or update key result values directly. Linked KPIs can also roll up automatically.

Common questions

What is the difference between an objective and a key result?

An objective states what you want to achieve. Key results are measurable outcomes that show whether the objective is on track.

How do OKRs connect to KPIs?

Link KPIs to key results on the KPIs page. KPI updates can roll into OKR progress without manual entry.

When should we run planning sessions?

Most teams align objectives at the start of each quarter. Use OKR sessions and planning for the full workflow.
