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.

Aligning OKRs

           

By default, there are four levels:

  • Enterprise
  • Value Stream
  • Program
  • Team

The number of Child Objectives OKR Children.png is indicated in the bottom-left of the Parent Objective card on your OKR board.

Viewing OKR Levels

To determine what levels are displayed, click the Show OKR Levels dropdown OKR level dropdown.png which will indicate the number of levels displayed or the name of the Primary Level. Here you can click the levels to show or hide them. The Primary Level cannot be hidden.

  2. Then select the desired level from the Primary OKR Level dropdown.
  3. Click Save and Close.

Determining OKR Levels on a Board

Administrators can determine which levels are available when creating Objectives on an OKR board.

           

Click to expand or shrink

           

  1. Click  and select OKR Settings.
  2. In the OKR Board Level Settings section, mark the checkboxes next to the Board Levels you want to be available when creating new objectives.
  3. Click Save & Close.

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. When Objectives are connected, any higher-level objective can be selected as a Parent Objective and any lower-level objective can be selected as a Child Objective.

           

NOTE

If your AgilePlace environment is connected to Planview Admin, you must manage your OKR levels in Planview Admin instead of in AgilePlace Account Settings.
