(OKRs) Objectives & Key Results Workshop

90–120 min3–10 peopleRemote · Hybrid · In-person

Align your team on shared goals so they can work autonomously and stay focused.

What is this workshop?

OKRs fail when they're handed down from leadership rather than built bottom-up. This workshop guides your team through writing their own Objectives and Key Results — with enough structure to keep them ambitious and measurable, and enough space to make them genuinely owned. The result is a set of OKRs your team will actually use to make decisions.

What's included

  • OKR framework overview slides
  • Objective writing canvas
  • Key Result quality checker
  • Quarterly OKR tracker template

This is for you if…

  • Team leads setting quarterly goals with their team
  • Product teams who want autonomy without misalignment
  • Managers whose team doesn't connect daily work to company direction

How to run this workshop

1Make a copy of the Google Slides deck — go to File → Make a copy → Entire presentation.
2Share the deck with your team a day before and ask them to read slides 1–5 in advance.
3Open the workshop by aligning on what a good Objective looks like: inspiring, qualitative, time-bound.
4Brainstorm 5–7 potential Objectives in small groups, then vote on the top two.
5For each Objective, write 3–5 Key Results that are measurable and binary (either achieved or not).
6Pressure-test each KR: if you hit it, would you actually be sure the Objective was met?

Tips for first-time facilitators

  • Ask the team to read slides 1–5 the day before — it prevents spending half the session on definitions.
  • Push back on Key Results that aren't measurable. 'Improve customer satisfaction' is an Objective, not a KR.
  • OKRs should feel slightly uncomfortable. If everyone's confident you'll hit 100%, they're not ambitious enough.

Frequently asked questions

How do I copy this template?

Open the link, go to File → Make a copy → Entire presentation. Saves to Google Drive instantly.

What's the difference between an Objective and a Key Result?

An Objective is qualitative and inspirational — it answers 'Where are we going?' A Key Result is measurable and specific — it answers 'How will we know we got there?'

How many OKRs should a team have per quarter?

2–3 Objectives, each with 3–4 Key Results. More than that and focus is lost. OKRs are about choosing what NOT to do as much as what to do.

Should OKRs be 100% achievable?

No. Well-written OKRs should feel slightly uncomfortable — a 70% achievement rate is considered a success. If you hit 100% every quarter, your goals aren't ambitious enough.
