What is My OKR?
My OKR is the personal workspace for every COS user. It shows:
- All Objectives and Key Results assigned to you across all active OKR cycles
- Your current progress and health status per OKR
- Check-in history and trends
This is the page most users visit most often — it is your weekly task list for strategy execution.
Finding Your OKRs
- Go to Execution → My OKR
- The page shows your OKRs grouped by:
- OKR Cycle (e.g., Q1 2025)
- Unit (if you belong to multiple org units)
Each Objective shows:
- Title
- Owner
- Progress percentage
- Status (On Track / At Risk / Off Track)
- Number of Key Results with their individual progress
Creating a New Objective
By default, you can create OKRs for yourself if you have the TEAM_LEAD role or above. Your admin may have configured approval requirements. Check with your Strategy Manager if the + New OKR button is not visible.
- From My OKR, click + New OKR
- Fill in:
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Objective | The qualitative goal (what you want to achieve) | "Improve customer onboarding experience" |
| Cycle | Which OKR Cycle this belongs to | Q1 2025 |
| Owner | Usually you — can delegate sub-owners | You |
| Strategic Theme | Which theme does this OKR support? | Customer Experience |
| Visibility | Public (visible to others) / Private | Public |
- Click Save
Adding Key Results
Each Objective needs 2–5 Key Results that measure whether the objective was achieved.

Weekly Check-ins
Check-ins are the heartbeat of OKR execution. They answer: "How are we progressing this week?"
Adding a Check-in
- Open a Key Result
- Click + Add Check-in
- Fill in:
- Current Value: The actual measurement today
- Status: On Track / At Risk / Off Track
- Confidence: How confident are you you'll hit the target? (High / Medium / Low)
- Note: Optional — explain what happened, blockers, actions
- Click Save
The system automatically updates the progress bar and health indicator.
Check-in Cadence
| OKR Frequency | Recommended Check-in Cadence |
|---|---|
| Quarterly OKRs | Weekly |
| Annual OKRs | Bi-weekly or Monthly |
Understanding Progress Indicators
Progress vs. Expected Progress
COS calculates expected progress based on the time elapsed in the cycle. If you're at 30% completion at 50% through the quarter, you're behind expected pace.
| Visual | Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 | On Track | Progress ≥ expected pace |
| 🟡 | At Risk | Progress is 10-25% below expected |
| 🔴 | Off Track | Progress is >25% below expected |
| ⚪ | Not Started | No check-in recorded yet |
Cascading OKRs
OKRs can be cascaded — a Key Result at one level becomes an Objective at the level below. This ensures alignment from company strategy down to individual work.
To cascade:
- Open the parent Key Result
- Click Create Child OKR
- The child OKR is linked to the Key Result — progress rolls up automatically
Asking the AI Assistant About Your OKRs
The AI Assistant has full context of your OKRs. Try asking:
- "Which of my OKRs are off track this week?"
- "Suggest three actions to get my Q1 OKR back on track."
- "Show me my OKR progress trend for this quarter."
