Type of Relationship

Hard link

Parent-Child

  • Targets become dependent on each other.

  • Change The change of one target leads to the a change in the other connected targets.

  • Parent-Child

  • Dependencies (Time Dependencies)

Soft linkContribution

  • Targets are independent on of each other.

  • Change of A change in one target doesn't lead to the a change in the other connected targets.

The parent-child relationship can be applied to the targets that belong to the same unit.

...

...

Constraints of the parent-child relationship:

  • An OKR target cannot have a parent target.

  • A Key Result target cannot have child targets.

  • Initiatives and Milestones can have as many nested levels of targets as you need.

  • Each parent target inherits the progress of child targets.

Info

The parent-child relationship can be applied to the targets that belong to the same unit.

Finish to finish 

Both linked targets must be finished in on the same day

Start to start
