In this example, we are going to write an OKR to Improve Infrastructure Reliability. This objective is vital to the functioning of your team and your product. Improving this aspect of your department has larger implications for the improvement of your entire business model.
Key results
The key results that will help you achieve this objective are:
- Move to Google Cloud
- Create an NOC to monitor every infrastructure component
- Integrate Amazon SES
Input the title of your objective.
Using the form, we will put in our key result: Move to Google Cloud. We will set a target date for this move, and, because this key result is not associated with any metric but rather a sequence of steps to be completed, we’ll select the milestone tracker key result type.
Then, we can create a new sequence, search for one using the magnifying glass, or type in the name of a preexisting sequence using the search bar.
After we select our sequence, you can assign this key result to a team member by clicking the magnifying glass and selecting the employee you’d like to assign it to. Set a weekly check-in date, and press create.
These key results are not only specific and trackable, but will directly impact your product’s infrastructure reliability.
