Use OKR with Atlas

[Damien ISSARTEL]

I'm not sure to underestand exactly how i can use OKR with Atlas. 
- for each objective i need seperate metrics that mean if i have 100 objectives, i will have 100 different metrics ? is it possible to have generic metric like "All Jira Issue must be done ?"

- is it possible to automatically change metric progress when jira issue assoaciated to objective is in progres ?

Hi @Damien ISSARTEL 

I'm not sure if Atlas was built for the OKR use case from the product perspective. Within Atlas / Jira Goals, you can attach only one metric for each goal, while in the classic OKR setup, you have 3-5 Key Results per Objective.

However, if it comes directly to Jira issues - you can use the Jira tab and attach all of them for tracking purposes. It won't give you a specific score, but this way, all the related issues are consolidated under one Objective:

I've experimented with some other Jira OKR setups in my Medium post. I think it might help you.

Thanks a lot for your feedback, your publication on medium is very interesting.

FYI, Atlassian is evolving their Goal-tracking right now into Platform Experiences: Atlas is Evolving 

Within that evolution is Goal Types that are now specifically defined as Objective and Key Result (with more goal types coming).

Might help with the structure you are looking for with your sub-goals.

Hi @Damien ISSARTEL welcome to the community.

I'm stunned that you could have 100 objectives. I wonder if you're being coached appropriately; an OKR isn't a quarterly task list.

A team should have at most 5 objectives.

Hi @Jim Knepley - ReleaseTEAM - I see that much with our enterprise customers at Oboard. It seems like a 100 is a lot, but when you have OKRs on multiple levels and in multiple OKR cycles, they add on quickly.

Of course, a 100 for one small team is a lot, but I guess this is not @Damien ISSARTEL 's case :)

Absolutely Margo. 100 objectives is an exemple, not real use case..
