OKR Levels

OKR levels allow you to track connected OKRs across organizational structures. Typically, OKRs have an enterprise or corporate level at the top and team-level OKRs at the bottom with various levels in between. Having multi-leveled OKRs allows for bi-directional goal alignment.

Changing OKR Level Names

Administrators can modify the name and number of levels available on the OKR Settings tab of Account Settings. The order of these levels reflect their order in the OKR hierarchy.
