Objectives
Objectives are qualitative goals and give direction on what should be achieved. They are ambitious, motivating, big hairy goals. Usually one organizational unit holds three to five key results and has a timeframe from three to four months to be achieved.
Key Results
Key results are specific, quantitative results and can therefore be measured. They are used to track the achievement of an Objective. It’s important to not confuse them with KPIs or ToDos and can be achieved independently.
