What is the objectives and key results template?

Setting a company-wide objective is crucial for orienting your entire business—from warehouse to R&D teams—toward an agreed-upon goal that will ultimately impact the bottom line. That’s where the objectives and key results template comes in. This is a goal-setting canvas focused on OKRs that will help you articulate your company objective and the key results expected from all teams. This template was created in collaboration with Product School, the global leader in Product Management training and certification.
