OKR stands for Objectives and Key Results, a goal-setting framework that helps organizations and individuals define and track ambitious goals. It's a collaborative approach that aligns teams and encourages engagement around measurable objectives.
Objectives are ambitious, qualitative statements of what you want to achieve. They should be clear and concise.
For more information on what OKRs are and how they are used, see OKRs. General overview.

Update progress on OKRs
Each objective is made up of measurable results called key results. Regularly updating the progress of your key results is important to track your overall progress towards the objective.
To update the progress on your OKRs, follow these steps:
Go to Me > Objectives.
Click on the desired objective.
Locate the key result you're working on.
Update the progress.
Choose a status that reflects your current progress:
On Track: The key result is progressing as planned.
Behind: The key result is not on track to be completed on time.
At Risk: The key result is unlikely to be completed on time without corrective action.
No Status: You haven't yet indicated progress on this key result.
💡Note: If an objective that you own is not closed on time, you receive an email notification.
💡Note: the overall status of an objective reflects the lowest status of any of its key results.
