Organizations use three main OKR categories which consist of committed goals, aspirational targets and operational objectives. Committed OKRs are goals that teams fully commit to accomplishing. Aspirational OKRs define ambitious objectives that require substantial effort to reach while remaining attainable. Operational OKRs represent continuous tactical objectives that target the daily functioning of business operations.
Different OKR key results fulfill unique roles which allow organizations to establish combined goals that propel performance and growth.
