Alexis Ginsberg, Product Designer on Plan talks through some exploration on Objective & Key result work items
A
Hey
Alexa
scare,
so
I'm
looking
to
okrs
how
they
keep
you
implementing
get
lab,
and
the
current
proposal
is
having
two
new
workout
types:
an
objective
and
a
key
result
living
within
projects
within
issue
list.
So
we
already
have
tests
and
issues
that
live
within
the
issue
list
and
a
few
other
items.
But
these
are
the
most
relevant
and
then
that
would
mean
we
would
also
have
an
objective
and
a
key
result
object
with
an
issue
list
and
then
we
would
have
epics
or
sub-ethics
at
the
group
level
within
the
epics
list.
A
So
that's
kind
of
like
the
state
of
things
with
the
proposal
so
I'm
trying
to
think
through
that
and
what
that
would
mean
for
kind
of
the
value
of
these
different
items
or
like
what
are
the
rules
between
these
different
item
types
and
when
one
would
use
one
versus
the
other
so
hold
that
in
so.
For
example,
if
we
have
an
objective
work
item
type
right
when
my
user
use
that
to
track
objectives
versus
something
like
an
epic
for
example,
or
when
might
they
use
an
objective,
workout
type
versus
an
issue?
A
And
why
right
like?
What
is
the
value
of
using
an
objective
versus
one
of
these
two?
What
is
the
difference
between
the
two
types
of
things?
What
is
our
kind
of
vision
there,
and
then
you
know
I'm
going
to
further
think
about
how
they
would
link
together
as
well
and
then
kind
of
same
for
key
results
so
like
when
would
I
use
this
key
result,
work
item
versus
something
like
an
issue
or
maybe
a
task.
Even
why
would
I
use
this
instead,
like?
A
What
is
the
value
here
to
use
this
key
result
versus
something
like
an
issue,
a
task
or
can
I
just
track
okrs
through
ethics
issues
and
tasks,
and
if
I
can't,
why
not?
And
how
will
these
work
items
solve?
That
problem
is
kind
of
what
I'm
trying
to
visualize
and
then,
like
I,
said
after
the
relationships
things
like
that
and
somehow
related
to
that.
Maybe
more
granular.
Is
you
know?
A
If
we
have
these
work
items
types
of
a
key
result
and
objective,
then
we
would
also
have
different
attributes
with
them
within
them
that
are,
at
the
moment
very
similar
to
things
like
issues,
for
example.
So,
let's
say:
I
am
within
a
key
result
and
or
an
objective
and
I
need
to
say
when
we're
working
on
this.
This
thing
right,
when
is
this
goal,
maybe
going
to
be
what
is
a
due
date
or
what
is
the
time
frame?
A
So
the
current
proposal
is
to
use
milestones,
so
what
I'm,
trying
to
figure
out
is
like
okay?
How
does
that
impact
our
current
experience,
then,
if
we
have
things
that
are
more
kind
of
goals,
not
really
trackable
or
like
tactical
work
necessarily,
but
they
are
kind
of
at
the
same
level
and
used
similarly
to
work
items
like
issues
that
would
be
trapped
within
a
milestone,
and
you
know
you're
looking
at
how
they
burn
down,
for
example.
So
how
would
including
things
like
objectives
and
key
results
within
a
milestone
impact?
A
Our
current
experience
would
it
make
sense
to
use
Milestones
to
track
these
more
goal-based
things
like
objectives
and
key
results?
Should
it
be
really
its
own
time
box
like?
Should
we
have
a
time
box
list
of
like
okr
time
frames?
What
does
that
mean,
or
do
we
Define?
What
a
quarter
annual
goal
is
things
like
that?
So
you
know
certain
attributes
like
Milestones
labels,
if
we
use
those
for
things
that
are
slightly
different
than
our
current
work
items
that
are
more
tactical.
What
does
that
mean?
Some?
