Cascading OKRs in Agility

Cascading OKRs is a way to break down company goals into smaller, clear objectives for teams and individuals. This helps everyone stay aligned and work towards the same goals.

How it Works

• Leadership team sets clear and measurable objectives for the company.
• Departments break the company-wide objectives into team goals.
• Teams further divide them into individual objectives.

With cascading OKRs, you can link a parent to an Objective, search for OKRs using the title or ID, and view the associated parent and child Objectives. The following are some important points related to Cascading OKRs

• Users can add Parents to Public objectives
• Users can only add Parents to Objectives.
• A single Parent can have multiple Objectives, however a Child can have only one Parent
