Write OKRs for your team

This prompt writes OKRs for a team and quarter. Given the company priority and where you are now, it produces two objectives, each with three measurable key results. Rewrite any key result that cannot be measured.

Help me write OKRs for [TEAM / FUNCTION] for [QUARTER].

Company priority this quarter: [PRIORITY]
Where we are now: [CURRENT SITUATION, WITH NUMBERS]

Write 2 objectives, each with 3 measurable key results (with a starting value and a target). Objectives should be inspiring and qualitative; key results must be numbers I can check. Flag any key result that is really a task.

If a key result can be done by finishing a to-do list, it is a task. Ask the AI to rewrite it.

What you will get

Two plain-language objectives, each with three key results that state a start value and a target, plus a short note on any key result that is really a task in disguise.

Why it works

OKRs fail in two common ways: objectives that are only numbers, and key results that are only tasks. The prompt splits the two jobs, qualitative objectives and numeric key results, and then asks the AI to police the line between results and tasks. Asking for a start value and a target turns each key result into something you can actually score at the end of the quarter.

Common mistake

The key results have targets but no starting point.

Fix: Put real numbers in “where we are now”. Without a baseline the AI invents one, and a target of 40% means nothing if you do not know you are at 12%.

Also watch for
  • Every key result is something you can just do, like “launch the new page”. That is the trap the prompt asks it to flag. Ask what the launch should change, such as sign-ups or support tickets, and measure that instead.
  • The objectives drift away from the company priority. Write the priority in one sentence with a verb, such as “cut churn among small customers”, so both objectives can be checked against it.
Try a variation: personal OKRs

Use it for your own quarter: one objective for work and one for learning, with key results you can check from your calendar, your notes or a simple log.

Still not right? Reply with this

For each key result, tell me where I would get the number every week and who on the team owns it. Rewrite any that I could not measure without a new tool.
