OKRs pair an objective, what you want to achieve, with key results, the numbers that prove it. This template keeps both in one note that a team can update every week.
Who it is for
It is for small teams and founders who plan by quarter and want their objectives and numbers in one shared place, without dedicated OKR software. It also works for one person who likes measurable goals.
What is in the okr planner template
- Objectives: one inspiring sentence each, two objectives to start.
- Key results: a table with Start, Target and Current numbers, Confidence (high, medium, low) and Owner.
- Where each key result stands: a bar chart of the current values.
- Weekly check-in: progress, risks and help needed.
An example
A three-person product team writes two objectives: "New users love their first week" and "Customers get answers fast". Under the first, they track weekly active users from 1,200 to 2,000 and customer interviews from 0 to 20. Every Monday, the owner updates Current. Halfway through the quarter, users are at 1,500, so they set confidence to Medium and plan an onboarding fix in their project tracker.

How to write good OKRs
- Keep two or three objectives a quarter, with two to four key results each.
- A key result is a number with a target, not a task: "20 customer interviews", not "talk to customers".
- Set targets that feel a little out of reach. Reaching about 70% often means the target was ambitious enough.
- Update Current and Confidence every week, in a short check-in.
Make it yours
- Rename the objectives in the Objective column options.
- Add a column for the key result's unit, such as users or hours.
- Share it with your team in a Barside Space so everyone sees the same numbers.
