It is also important that it must be possible to complete the selected objectives within one OKR cycle, i.e. within approximately three months. However, OKRs should be formulated ambitiously so that they do not have to be fully achieved. A value of 60 - 70 percent of target achievement is therefore considered satisfactory. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u00abIf you set crazy ambitious goals and miss them, you\u2019ve probably still achieved something remarkable.\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Ken Norton, Ex-Director of Product Management at Google<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>An objective describes a desired future state and should have a motivating effect on all participants.

It is important to note that during an ongoing cycle, the existing OKR rules may not be changed and the team's commitment does not change during this time. What is special about the OKR is that the goal setting and review is done in a fairly short period of time of about three months and the staff are actively involved. As soon as one cycle ends, the next one begins immediately.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_image_1 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/new-site.parm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/OKR-cycle.jpg\" title=\"OKR cycle\" alt=\"OKR cycle\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_7 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>1. OKR Planning - one-time at the beginning of the cycle approx. 4 hours:<\/h3>\n<p>At the beginning of a new OKR cycle, OKR Planning defines the objectives and key results at all organisational levels for the coming months. However, shorter or longer periods can also be chosen if necessary. In this phase, the organisation-wide OKRs are first formulated and presented to the staff. The company's vision, mission and moals are included in this process. Then each individual team develops its OKRs. Keep in mind that the different teams or departments of a company should share their OKRs transparently, otherwise unforeseen dependencies, duplications or conflicts may arise. In this way, about 40 per cent of the goals are set top-down by management and 60 per cent are developed bottom-up at the operational level. As a result, employees identify with the goals and are intrinsically motivated.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_8 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>2. OKR Refinement:<\/h3>\n<p>The next step is to maintain and improve the OKRs. For this purpose, a refinement meeting usually takes place in the middle of the cycle so that it can be checked whether all objectives and key results are comprehensible and still up-to-date.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_9 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>3. Weekly OKR - approx. 15 minutes per week:<\/h3>\n<p>In addition, there is a weekly meeting that serves to exchange information about the current status. In this meeting, staff can briefly report on the current status, what the next steps are, if there are any problems or if support is needed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_10 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>4. OKR Review - once at the end of the cycle approx. 4 hours:<\/h3>\n<p>At the end of an OKR cycle, the results are presented in the OKR Review and evaluated with regard to the objectives. The key results show to what extent the objectives have been achieved. In addition, an OKR Review can be used to summarise what was learned during the cycle and what consequences should be drawn from it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_11 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>5. OKR Retrospective - once at the end of the cycle approx. 2 hours:<\/h3>\n<p>The retrospective is important for the continuous improvement and development of an organisation as it reflects on the cycle. This meeting not only marks the end of a cycle, but also reveals obstacles in the team that stand in the way of achieving the goals, as well as factors that promote the achievement of goals.wie Faktoren, die die Zielerreichung f\u00f6rdern. In this way, potential for improvement is uncovered and the team decides what should be changed in the next cycle. The OKR retrospective thus serves as a basis for <a href=\"https:\/\/new-site.parm.com\/en\/project-management-abc-l-for-lessons-learned\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Project Management ABC: L for Lessons Learned\">Lessons Learned<\/a>.

If your company uses OKRs, they can be used to ensure that the projects that are implemented support the corporate strategy, mission statement and goals. However, OKR can not only help in selecting the right projects, but can also be applied in project management itself. On the one hand, it can be used to set the project goals, which are then followed up in a regular OKR cycle. This is particularly useful for <a href=\"https:\/\/new-site.parm.com\/en\/agile-methods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Project management ABC: A for agile methods\">agile projects<\/a>. In especially complex projects, OKRs also provide good orientation and thus help to maintain an overview of sub-projects and goals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_13 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Areas_of_application\"><\/span>Areas of application<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Because of the short cycles, the OKR method can be used well in agile organisations - and in any size of company. The method can be used for the whole organisation as well as in individual teams and departments, and for specific products, projects or developments. OKR is also suitable for use in various phases of a company's life cycle. Thus, the method can help both in the founding as well as in the development and management of already established companies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_14 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips\"><\/span>Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cycle length:<\/strong> The length of a cycle depends mainly on your company and the dynamics of the environment. For example, it may make sense to implement a 12-month cycle for the top level, i.e. higher-level, long-term goals, with a 3-month cycle for all other company levels. It is important that the length of the cycle is repeatedly checked in the OKR retrospective to see if it is reasonable and is adjusted if necessary. A cycle is chosen too short if the goals cannot be achieved by the end of the cycle and too long if the goals are no longer relevant at the end of the cycle or the focus has changed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Openness:<\/strong> In order for OKR to work, employees and managers should be open to this method so that they are motivated to contribute to the company's goal development. Otherwise, due to the high transparency of the method, discontent could arise in the company. At the same time, it is important that management stands behind the method and trusts the employees as they set their own goals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No evaluation:<\/strong> The fact that all goals are disclosed should not be perceived as a control, as this could have a demotivating effect and also entail the danger of manipulated or embellished results. Therefore, it is also not useful to use the set targets for staff appraisal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ambitious goals:<\/strong> To be truly motivating, OKRs should be ambitious and set high so that they do not have to be fully achieved. However, they should still be achievable, as otherwise they have a demotivating effect. A level of 60 to 70 per cent target achievement should be a realistic expectation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_5 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_5 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_15 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>OKR offers companies great potential.
