18F encourages the development of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) as a way to define and track goals and the results that indicate you’ve reached those goals.
The lean movement encourages focusing team efforts on outcomes (the impact we’re trying to accomplish) instead of just outputs (what we’re doing). This is a quick guide to creating OKRs in that spirit.
This document is based on the 18F Guides Template, published using the 18F Pages platform. Please refer to the published Guides Template or the source repository, 18F/guides-template, for details on how to update this guide.
