There are four types of targets in the Planner application: OKRObjective, Key Result, Initiative, and Milestone.
Type of target | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
OKRObjective | Objective according to the OKR methodology, this is a big and ambitious goal. An OKR is to be formulated as a short sentence, understandable for the entire team. The grade for achieving this goal is measured by Key Results. | Increase system performance. |
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. |

Constraints of the parent-child relationship:
An OKR Objective target cannot have a parent target. Only Key Results can be children to an Objective.
A Key Result target cannot have child targets.
Initiatives can have as many nested levels of targets as you need.
Each parent target inherits the progress of child targets.
...
The Contributes To the type of relationship is available for such types of targets as:
OKR Objective → OKR Objective;
Initiative or Milestone → OKR Objective, Key Result, Initiative, Milestone.
This type of relationship shows , that the target you try to link with others, contributes to the achieving results that are planned in the linked targets.
...
The Contributes By type of relationship is available for such types of targets as:
OKR Objective ← OKR Objective, Initiative;
Key Result ← Initiative or Milestone;
Initiative or Milestone ← Initiative or Milestone.
