6 Patterns Across Great OKRs
Objectives are ambitious and qualitative — 'make X feel Y', not 'ship 5 features'
Key Results are measurable with specific numbers and baselines
KRs target 40–60% improvement — not 5% (too small) or 10x (too wild)
Each OKR has 3–4 KRs — more becomes noise
Guardrails included where appropriate (e.g., maintain NPS, don't harm suppliers)
Each KR is something the team can actually influence
FAQ
How many OKRs should a PM team have per quarter?
1 Objective with 3–4 Key Results is ideal. 2 Objectives is acceptable for larger teams. More than 2 Objectives dilutes focus — you're trying to do too much at once. The discipline of choosing the one thing that matters most is what makes OKRs valuable.
Are OKRs the same as KPIs?
No. KPIs are ongoing metrics you always track (DAU, retention, revenue). OKRs are time-bound bets — 'this quarter we'll move X from A to B.' A good OKR often targets moving a KPI meaningfully. Confusing the two is common and weakens both.
