Workflow: Quarterly Strategic Planning
Step 1: Define Strategic Focus
| Strategy | When to Use |
|---|---|
| Growth | Scaling user base, market expansion |
| Retention | Reducing churn, improving LTV |
| Revenue | Increasing ARPU, new monetization |
| Innovation | Market differentiation, new capabilities |
| Operational | Improving efficiency, scaling operations |
See references/strategy_types.md for detailed guidance.
Step 2: Gather Input Metrics
{
"current": 100000, // Current MAU
"target": 150000, // Target MAU
"current_nps": 40, // Current NPS
"target_nps": 60 // Target NPS
}
Step 3: Configure Teams & Run Generator
# Default teams
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth
# Custom org structure with contribution percentage
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth \
--teams "Core,Platform,Mobile,AI" \
--contribution 0.3
Step 4: Review Alignment Scores
| Score | Target | Action if Below |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical Alignment | >90% | Ensure all objectives link to parent |
| Horizontal Alignment | >75% | Check for team coordination gaps |
| Coverage | >80% | Validate all company OKRs are addressed |
| Balance | >80% | Redistribute if one team is overloaded |
| Overall | >80% | <60% needs restructuring |
Step 5: Refine, Validate, and Export
Before finalizing:
- Review generated objectives with stakeholders
- Adjust team assignments based on capacity
- Validate contribution percentages are realistic
- Ensure no conflicting objectives across teams
- Set up tracking cadence (bi-weekly check-ins)
# Export JSON for tools like Lattice, Ally, Workboard

Best Practices
OKR Cascade
- Limit to 3-5 objectives per level, each with 3-5 key results
- Key results must be measurable with current and target values
- Validate parent-child relationships before finalizing
Alignment Scoring
- Target >80% overall alignment; investigate any score below 60%
- Balance scores ensure no team is overloaded
- Horizontal alignment prevents conflicting goals across teams
Team Configuration
- Configure teams to match your actual org structure
- Adjust contribution percentages based on team size
- Platform/Infrastructure teams often support all objectives
- Specialized teams (ML, Data) may only support relevant objectives
