OKRify January 2023 Release

OKR Updates

Strategic Pillars

Strategic pillars are the key focus area of an organization’s strategy. Strategic pillars will also help to structure and organize OKRs around these focus areas. In OKRify, a strategic pillar can be created using the Create OKR page by clicking the Create button from the Hub and selecting the strategic icon from the top menu in the Create OKR page.

The following fields are available for a Strategic Pillar

  • Name
  • Period
  • Team (Automatically set to the Company level team)
  • Co-Owners
  • Description

Strategic pillars can be saved in draft status, can be paused or closed similar to an OKR.
Strategic pillar can be enabled from the OKRify Settings. If Strategic Pillar is enabled then Strategic Pillars will be the first level in the Objective hierarchy. Strategic pillars can be added as a parent OKR in any company or team level OKRs. Strategic pillars will not have key results and there will be no progress tracking for Strategic pillars.

Hub – Save filters

Filters in the hub can be saved by each user and the saved filter will be used to search OKRs when the hub is loaded.
Below are the functions of the buttons in the Hub filter

  • Save – Save the filters and search OKRs with the filters
  • Reset – Reset the filters back to the default filters
  • Apply – Use the filters to search OKRs but will not save the filters entered
Sobject/KPI Update – Increased limits

Sobject and KPI Key Results progress updates were limited to a maximum of 50,000 lines of data, this release will remove the 50,000 line of data limit when updating Sobject and Key Result progress.
