OKR and Strategic Portfolio Management

OKR, which stands for Objectives and Key Results, is a powerful goal-setting framework designed to help organizations define clear, measurable goals (Objectives) and track their achievement through specific, quantifiable outcomes (Key Results). When integrated with Project Portfolio Management (PPM), OKRs create a strategic layer that ensures every project, program, and initiative is directly contributing to business goals. This alignment brings greater clarity, focus, and accountability across the organization. By connecting high-level strategy with daily execution, OKRs enable portfolio managers and leadership teams to prioritize work that drives impact, monitor progress with real-time data, and optimize decision-making based on measurable results. The outcome is a more agile, goal-driven organization where strategy and execution move in sync.
