Type of target | Description | Example |

Key Result | The desired result after performing a series of actions. Reaching the result, you can understand how much the OKR is accomplished. The key result can be measured by the per cent or quantity of something. | Increase the ability for users to work simultaneously by 15%.

Initiative | A small goal or a specific action you need to do to achieve a small goal (other Initiative), Key Result or bigger goal (OKR). | Perform regression testing to identify critical errors. |
Milestone | A scheduled end date is when the planned goals and results are to be achieved. | Planned release 29.03.2022. |
