I searched for a good app to track my OKRs but didn't finde one.... So I made one. OKRs are an awesome method to plan your goals and achieve them. With the OKR Method you can get greater results than before. OKR stands for Objective & Keyresults. I started to use OKRs at work and they are awesome. Okr: Objective oKR: KeyResult The Objective in OKR is the bigger goal you want to achieve. "My OKR Tracking App will be a huge success" or "Our game PanJump will be a huge success" are great Objectives. The Objectives are here to inspire you. They are the inspiring part in OKRs. But we also want to measure our OKRs and I can't measure "My OKR Tracking App will be a huge success" it's not possible. And this why there are Keyresults in the OKR method. Key Results are precise and measurable. A keyresult for the objective "My OKR Tracking App will be a huge success" would be "The app will be downloaded 100 times" or "I will get an average rating of 4 Stars or higher" or "I will get 100 reviews" - These keyresults are precise and measurable. This is how the OKR method works. You can use the OKR Tracking App to track your OKRs. If you have any feedback for the OKR Tracking App please let me know!
