About this template
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

Getting started
How to run this workshop
Make a copy of the Google Slides deck — go to File → Make a copy → Entire presentation.
Share the deck with your team a day before and ask them to read slides 1–5 in advance.
Open the workshop by aligning on what a good Objective looks like: inspiring, qualitative, time-bound.
Brainstorm 5–7 potential Objectives in small groups, then vote on the top two.
For each Objective, write 3–5 Key Results that are measurable and binary (either achieved or not).
Pressure-test each KR: if you hit it, would you actually be sure the Objective was met?
Tips for first-time facilitators
- 1
Ask the team to read slides 1–5 the day before — it prevents spending half the session on definitions.
- 2
Push back on Key Results that aren't measurable. 'Improve customer satisfaction' is an Objective, not a KR.
- 3
OKRs should feel slightly uncomfortable. If everyone's confident you'll hit 100%, they're not ambitious enough.
