90+ OKR Examples for Every Team (2026, Free Toolkit)

Our analysis of 7,857 real Key Results found that 52% were tasks or KPIs in disguise. The examples below are written to avoid that trap — each one measures what changes, not what gets done.

Writing OKRs is harder than it looks. You want them to be ambitious but realistic, clear but not rigid — and most of all, connected to outcomes that actually move the business.

Staring at a blank doc at the start of the quarter is where most teams get stuck. That's what this guide is for.

Below you'll find 90+ plug-and-play OKR examples across product, growth, sales, engineering, customer success, HR, support, and leadership — written to focus on outcomes, not vanity metrics. Adapt any of them to your team's specific context.

What Makes a Good OKR Example

The 2026 OKR Benchmark Report identifies five traits shared by high-performing OKRs across 200+ organizations.

They measure outcomes, not outputs. "Ship feature X" is a task. "Reduce churn by 10% after feature launch" is a Key Result. Teams that connect goals to outcomes are more likely to hit them — and to understand why when they don't.

They have a single named owner. OKRs with shared or vague ownership see 26% lower completion rates. Every Key Result should have one person accountable — not a team, not "leadership."

They're reviewed every week. Teams with weekly check-ins complete 43% more OKRs than those reviewing monthly. The best check-ins take under 20 minutes.

There are fewer of them. Teams running 1–2 Objectives per quarter are twice as likely to achieve them as those running three or more. The examples below are focused by design. The how many Key Results per Objective guide covers the right count.

They launched fast. Teams that get their first cycle live in under a week see up to 50% higher completion rates. Don't perfect the OKRs before the quarter starts — start, then iterate.

Company-Wide OKR Examples

Company-level OKRs set the strategic direction for the whole organization. They reflect growth milestones, major product initiatives, and key operational improvements. Every team's Key Results should connect to at least one of them — that connection is what turns an OKR programme into an alignment system.

65% of teams admit their goals aren't clearly linked to company strategy. Visible, specific company OKRs are the structural fix.

Product OKR Examples

Product teams live at the intersection of users, business goals, and execution. The best product OKRs focus on outcomes — not just feature delivery. "Increase onboarding completion from 50% to 80%" is a Key Result. "Ship onboarding redesign by July 15" is a task. Both matter; only the first belongs in an OKR.

Growth & Marketing OKR Examples

Marketing OKRs work best when they tie creative output to funnel outcomes. Impressions, traffic, signups, conversion, retention, revenue — pick the metric that proves the work moved the business, not just the work itself.

Our analysis of 7,857 real Key Results found output verbs (launch, complete, publish) in 52% of KRs — marketing teams are the most common offender. Every example below uses an outcome verb instead.

Sales OKR Examples

Sales OKRs should drive pipeline predictability and revenue growth. The distinction that matters: activities (send 500 emails, book 50 demos) tell you what the team did. Outcomes (win rate from 20% to 30%, ARR from £400K to £600K) tell you whether it worked. Track both — but only the outcomes belong in the OKR.

Engineering OKR Examples

Engineering OKRs should connect technical work to business value — not just sprint velocity or feature count. The clearest test: if the Key Result could be green while user experience got worse, it's the wrong metric.

Customer Success OKR Examples

Customer success OKRs work best when they're anchored in outcomes the customer experiences — not activity volume the team produces. NRR, time-to-value, and product adoption rates are the signals that matter. QBR completion counts and ticket closure rates are the ones that don't.

People / HR OKR Examples

People teams often default to process metrics — training sessions delivered, policies updated, surveys sent. Strong HR OKRs measure what changes in the employee experience as a result. eNPS, regrettable attrition, time-to-hire, and offer acceptance rates are the outcomes. The activities that produce them are initiatives, not Key Results.

Customer Support OKR Examples

Support OKRs work best when they balance external impact — CSAT, resolution time, ticket volume — with internal health — training completion, team morale, process quality. Both signal whether the function is improving, from different angles.

Leadership OKR Examples

Leadership OKRs anchor the organization's direction. They cover strategy alignment, hiring, fundraising, and external visibility — and they set the cultural tone for what the rest of the company believes is genuinely important. Set them transparently and share them widely.

Tracking OKR Examples Through the Cycle

Writing strong OKRs is the first step. Tracking them through a full 12-week cycle without losing the thread is harder — and where most teams break down.

The weekly check-in is the mechanism that keeps the examples above from becoming documentation. Named owners update Key Result progress in under five minutes: what moved, what's at risk, what's the priority this week. Teams with this habit complete 43% more OKRs than those without it.

At week six, score every Key Result honestly on a 0.0–1.0 scale. Anything below 0.5 gets an explicit decision — revise the target, escalate the blocker, or formally close it. The end-of-cycle reflection then produces the structural changes that make next quarter's examples sharper. Teams that run this full cycle compound from 51% completion in cycle one to 79% by cycle five.
