Our platform now supports the functionality of assigning different weights to key results (KRs) within objectives and key results (OKRs) to reflect better variations in effort, time, or significance of different KRs. This allows users to tailor the impact of each KR, ensuring that the overall progress of the Objective more accurately represents the contributions of its components.
We are releasing this feature step-by-step. If it has not yet appeared in your account but you would like to try it out, please contact your customer success manager.
Add weights to the Key results
Go to Performance -> Objectives.
Select the specific Objective you want to edit.
In the Objective preview mode, you will see an Edit Weights button.
This button is visible and active only for users with View and Manage all objectives across the company permissions for their roles.
4. Users can edit weights in two ways:
By clicking the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons.
By entering a numeric value directly into the field.
5. Save the new weights after editing. The objective's progress value will be recalculated.
KR weights will be displayed with a hover feature providing information about the impact.
Calculating OKR progress
To calculate the progress of OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), use the following formula:
OKR Progress=(KR1×KW1)+(KR2×KW2)+(KR3×KW3)/ KW1+KW2+KW3
where:
KR = Key Result
KW = Key Weight
Here's how it works:
1. Multiply each key result by its corresponding weight.
2. Add these weighted results together.
3. Divide the sum by the total of the weights.
This will give you the overall progress of your OKRs, taking into account the importance of each key result.
