The complete OKR guide OKRs for outcome-driven teams

Why this guide?

We get to speak with dozens of teams every month about Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). Some have everything under control, but many still have open questions about the framework:

• How is that different from what we're doing today?
• Where do we start?
• Can I see an example?

This guide is here to answer these questions in a simple and practical manner. We're not claiming to be gurus, and some of the advice might not work for your team. But, we hope that it will give you some inspiration and provoke some interesting debates.

This guide comes from our experience (Atlassian, Intercom, Monday, PwC, Amazon…) as well as hundreds of conversations that we’ve had with teams over the years.

Who is this guide for?

We've tailored this guide for teams that are familiar with OKRs, but want concrete and practical tips and examples to understand how to roll out the framework.
