Quick Start

# Growth strategy with default teams
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth

# Retention strategy with custom teams
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py retention --teams "Engineering,Design,Data"

# Revenue strategy with 40% product contribution
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py revenue --contribution 0.4

# Export as JSON for integration
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth --json > okrs.json

Workflow: Quarterly Strategic Planning

Step 1: Define Strategic Focus

StrategyWhen to Use
GrowthScaling user base, market expansion
RetentionReducing churn, improving LTV
RevenueIncreasing ARPU, new monetization
InnovationMarket differentiation, new capabilities
OperationalImproving 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

ScoreTargetAction 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
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth --json > q1_okrs.json

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
  • Senior PM (project-management/senior-pm/) — Portfolio management and risk analysis inform strategic planning
  • Competitive Teardown (product-team/competitive-teardown/) — Competitive intelligence feeds product strategy
