Establish and align objectives
Many goals are discussed and often forgotten or lost amid numerous new initiatives that emerge. Systematically create and organize your objectives, enabling your team to view, prioritize, and align with overarching goals.
Achieve objectives with key results
Determining direction by formulating objectives and defining desired outcomes is valuable, but the question of how to accomplish these goals can persist. In Zoho Sprints, you can create multiple key results within an objective, which function as milestones or quantifiable outcomes to transform objectives into reality.
Measuring key results
An effective set of key results have their own set of markers to gauge against real-time performance. In Zoho Sprints, you can monitor the advancement of your key results using units. You can select either numerical or binary units to establish a benchmark for comparison against actual progress, utilizing initial and final quantitative values or true/false Boolean options.
Linked entities
Objectives and associated key results will remain abstract until they are linked with actionable tasks to achieve your desired goals. Create new work items or link multiple existing tasks from projects to your objectives and key results, assign team members, and establish timelines in Zoho Sprints to accomplish your targets efficiently.
Track progress
The OKR dashboard provides an array of metrics to analyze the progression of objectives and key results, examine overdue and upcoming targets, and visualize status timelines and completion tables of agile OKRs.
