- Check-In Formats — Battle-tested weekly (15 min) and biweekly (30 min) formats that keep OKR reviews productive and time-boxed. Includes facilitation tips and anti-patterns.
- Grading Rubric — Clear 0.0-1.0 grading scale with calibration examples so your team grades consistently. Includes guidance on what "good" looks like (hint: it's not 1.0).

Worked OKR Examples: 5 Complete Sets With Grading
These examples show what well-written OKRs look like across different functions, with end-of-quarter grades and commentary explaining the assessment. Use them to calibrate your own OKR quality.
1. Product Team OKRs
Context: B2B SaaS product, 200 employees, Series C. Product team is 25 people across 4 squads. The company's strategic priority this quarter is mid-market expansion.
Objective 1: Make the product irresistible for mid-market buyers
Why: Win rate in mid-market deals is 35% — below our 48% overall average. Product gaps are the #1 cited reason in win/loss interviews.
| # | Key Result | Baseline | Target | Actual | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1 | Increase mid-market win rate | 35% | 50% | 44% | 0.60 |
| 1.2 | Ship 3 features from mid-market gap analysis | 0 | 3 | 3 | 1.0 |
| 1.3 | Achieve 4.0+ product satisfaction score in mid-market beta | N/A | 4.0 | 4.2 | 1.0 |
Objective Grade: 0.87
Commentary: We shipped all 3 features and the beta feedback was strong (4.2 vs 4.0 target). However, the win rate only improved from 35% to 44% — meaningful progress but short of the 50% target. The features landed late in the quarter, so the win-rate impact hasn't fully materialized yet. Expect continued improvement in Q3. The 0.60 on KR 1.1 reflects that the outcome we ultimately care about (winning deals) hasn't fully responded yet.
Objective 2: Reduce the cost of building and shipping features
Why: Our average cycle time (idea → production) is 8 weeks — too slow for competitive response. Engineering velocity is a strategic bottleneck.
| # | Key Result | Baseline | Target | Actual | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.1 | Reduce average feature cycle time from 8 weeks to 5 weeks | 8 weeks | 5 weeks | 6 weeks | 0.67 |
| 2.2 | Increase deployment frequency from 2/week to daily | 2/week | 5/week | 4/week | 0.67 |
| 2.3 | Reduce rollback rate from 15% to 5% | 15% | 5% | 8% | 0.70 |
Objective Grade: 0.68
Commentary: Solid progress across all KRs but none fully achieved. This was ambitious — cutting cycle time by 37% in one quarter is a stretch. The direction is right: cycle time down 25%, deployments doubled, rollbacks nearly halved. We'll continue this objective next quarter with adjusted targets.
2. Engineering Team OKRs
Context: Platform engineering team (8 engineers) supporting 4 product squads. Core challenge: reliability issues are eroding customer trust and consuming incident response time.
Objective 1: Build a platform our customers and engineers can trust
