4. Structure your OKRs
A few different methodologies can be used depending on your company structure and approach to planning. Considered to be the three primary methodologies are Classic, Roadmap, and Flat.
Classic OKRs
Classic OKRs are defined by quarterly meetings, where yearly Company OKRs are broken down into quarterly Company OKRs, which are then used as a base for aligning the Department OKRs.
Roadmap OKRs
Companies that follow Roadmap OKRs do not prioritize flexibility and instead break down yearly OKRs into quarterly OKRs for each quarter simultaneously.
Flat OKRs
Companies that follow the Flat OKR structure combine the breakdown and alignment processes. Their OKR structure does not feature quarterly Company OKRs — instead, each Department sets its own quarterly OKRs based on the yearly Company Objectives.
