Create an OKR framework
Follow a top-down approach that starts with defining company objectives. Then, establish supporting ones at each level of the organization — including business unit, product line, and individual products or teams. Make each objective specific, measurable, and time bound. This ensures everyone understands what needs to be accomplished and how you will measure success.
Guide what to build
Use your objectives to prioritize what matters most. Determine the strategic initiatives that will help the team achieve each goal. Then, define features and assess which will deliver the greatest value for customers using an objective scorecard. Showcase your strategically aligned plans with a product roadmap.
Track key results
Capture specific metrics to assess product performance. From monitoring the number of new customers each month to increasing daily active use and reducing churn, ensure the functionality you build delivers real results. This also enables you to see whether your high-level objectives are on track.
Review progress
Attain the outcomes you want. Build interactive reports and dashboards to assess progress against your OKRs on a regular basis. These insights give you an opportunity to course-correct your plans. They also drive transparency — keeping everyone in your organization focused and accountable for delivering lovable products.
