Illustrative data. It belongs to no company.

When to use it

Use it when

Tracking measurable objectives and key results.

Avoid it when

When incompatible key-result units are summed without an agreed rule.

How to read it

Read each key result's baseline, current value and target before any objective summary.

Note

Define aggregation and weights for any objective-level total.

The data you need

Layout
Long table
Fields
ObjectiveID: text; KeyResultID: text; Current,Start,Target: numbers
One row is
One key result associated with an objective. What is the grain?
Rules
Specify increasing versus decreasing goals and progress calculation. State weights for objective aggregation.
Optional
Owner,Weight,Unit,DueDate. Do not sum incompatible raw units.
Preparation
Calculate progress using each key result's baseline and target; define decreasing goals and objective aggregation weights.
Units
Progress often uses(Current-Start)/(Target-Start), with direction and weights defined per key result. Raw units can differ.
Example of the input layout: Long tableA long table: one row per observation, few columns. New data adds rows.ObjectiveIDKeyResultIDCurrentStartAABBC
A long table: one row per observation, few columns. New data adds rows.

Worked example

KR1 start 40, current 70, target 100 gives 50% of the required improvement. KR2 start 10, current 8, target 5 gives 40%; weight any combined score explicitly.
