Setting Up and Managing OKRs

Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) help your organization align individual goals with company priorities. Leadbacker's OKR module has four building blocks: Company Mission (CM), Corporate Objectives (CO), Objectives (O), and Key Results (KR). Key Users manage the company level; everyone else works on personal objectives and key results.

Who can access this feature

  • Key User — Company OKR page, Company Mission, Corporate Objectives, plus personal OKRs
  • Leadbacker / Feedbacker — My OKR page; create and manage personal Objectives and Key Results

Prerequisites

  • Key User role to set the Corporate Mission and create Corporate Objectives
  • Configure the Corporate Mission in Settings before rolling out OKRs to the organization

  1. 1Go to Settings and find the Corporate Mission field.
  2. 2Enter the mission statement and click Save.

  2. 2Fill in Title, Accountable user, Responsible users or groups, Start date, and End date.

  2. 2Fill in Title, alignment to a Corporate Objective (or 'No alignment'), Accountable, Responsible, Start date, and End date.
  3. 3The Accountable must lock the Objective before Key Results can be added.

Important notes
