العربيةOKR software that helps teams outperform their competitors.
What
are OKRs?
OKR is a goal management system that requires regular check-ins, feedback, continuous learning, collaboration and problem-solving. With OKR you can manage your team’s overall progress on strategic priorities.
Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are a simple yet powerful tool for any organization to execute its strategy with focus and alignment. They are useful for startups, scale-ups, or large corporations with thousands of employees—anyone who sets goals that need to be measured against objectives is a candidate for using this system of goal setting.
Where
do OKRs come from?
OKRs were developed by Andy Grove, the legendary CEO of Intel, who believed that all companies should use them. Today, OKRs are used every day at all kinds of organizations across the world including Google, Facebook, Twitter and over one-third of Fortune 500 companies.
Why
are OKRs important for business?
OKRs are a set of goals set by the employee, which are agreed upon by the manager, in teams, to achieve business objectives and improve performance.
Implement Your strategy with OKRs:
Organizations are making use of OKR programs to communicate the strategy in the most effective way possible. This results in higher employee satisfaction and productivity, higher performance and ultimately better outcome for the business

Tracking
Data-driven OKRs are the new way to set goals. Gone are the days when managers and employees could only set an annual performance goal. Data is everywhere, and leaders in agile organizations know how to use it to define their best strategies.

Transparency
At OKRs, everyone can see the goals and progress at any level of the company. You can update your own goals, see progress in the form of progress bars, and easily find goals that match your interests.

Stretch
Great companies use stretch goals to push their teams to achieve what might seem impossible — and receive support when things fall short.
OKR
Levels
There are four levels in each organization. Everyone can see their OKRs and get inspired by what others are doing. You can set your personal OKRs and align your objectives with the overall goals of the company.

04/
The individual OKRs
These are individual employees within a company; sometimes they have direct ownership of Key Results, other times they are simply observers to organization goals.
How to set program goals

Most companies plan their OKRs quarterly, as follows:
Q1
(January / February / March)
Q2
(April / May / June)
Q3
(July / August / September)
Q4
(October / November / December)
