OKR Cheat Sheet + OKR Checklist: Never forget anything again
The OKR method is simple, but not easy. Beginners, and even professionals, find it difficult to think of all the points and pay attention to all the details when running through an OKR cycle. This is exactly why we have created an OKR Cheat Sheet with OKR Checklist so that you never forget anything again.
The OKR Cheat Sheet will help you to master the creation of OKRs, the OKR cycle, OKR meetings, the OKR score and OKR stumbling blocks with ease. The checklist serves as a cheat sheet when creating OKR sets. What makes a good objective – what makes a good key result? The OKR Cheat Sheet with OKR Checklist tells you which mistakes to avoid and what to look out for when creating objectives and key results.

So you will never forget one of your meetings again.
OKR Dos and Don’ts
We all do things that we know we shouldn’t do. At OKR, we sometimes do different things because we don’t know what to do. To avoid this, the OKR Cheat Sheet provides an overview of the most common best practices and pitfalls, such as dealing with day-to-day or routine business, i.e. operational activities.

The checklist is used exclusively for the optimal definition of objectives and key results, while the cheat sheet is about the OKR process and the big picture.
OKR Cheat Sheet: Scope and target group
With the OKR Cheat Sheet and the OKR Checklist, you can prepare your managers and team members well for the basics of OKR or deepen them and successfully go through the OKR cycle.

Why is the OKR Cheat Sheet so colorful?
We have designed the OKR Cheat Sheet so that the planning phase is red, the execution phase is orange and the completion phase is blue. This color scheme runs through the entire OKR Cheat Sheet. Themes that cannot be specifically assigned to one of the three phases have a different color: gray, blue, green or gold.
On the OKR Cheat Sheet you will find the QR code to download the OKR Sheet, as well as inspiring sayings and tips on our offers.
Can the OKR Cheat Sheet and the OKR Checklist be printed out?
We have designed the OKR Cheat Sheet and the OKR Checklist so that they can be printed on both color and black and white printers. You can also do your bit for the environment by using it digitally – on a laptop or tablet – rather than printing it out.
