Objectives and key results

An objective is a clear, ambitious goal; key results are the measurable outcomes that show you’ve achieved it. Good OKRs are specific, measurable, and few in number.

Common pitfalls

Avoid vague objectives, too many OKRs, and key results that measure activity rather than outcomes. Focus matters more than coverage.

Connect OKRs to the work

OKRs fail when they’re set and forgotten. Connect them to the projects and tasks that deliver them so progress is visible and grounded.

Track with AI

In Wyatt, link goals to real work and ask the assistant to summarize progress, so OKR check-ins are fast and fact-based.
