# Adding Key Results

A **Key Result** is a measurable outcome that indicates progress toward achieving an Objective. While the **Objective** defines ***what*** you want to accomplish, **Key Results** define ***how** you’ll measure success*.

Key Results should be:

* **Specific & Quantifiable** – Use clear metrics or targets.
* **Time-bound** – Have a defined timeframe to achieve.
* **Outcome-focused** – Reflect impact, not just activity.

**Example:**

* **Objective:** Increase product adoption among new customers.
* **Key Results:**
  * Achieve **10,000 new active users** within the next quarter.
  * Increase **feature usage** among new customers from **40% to 70%** in three months.
  * Reduce **customer onboarding time** from **7 days to 3 days** by the end of the quarter.

By setting strong Key Results, teams can track progress, maintain focus, and ensure accountability.

### Adding Key Results

1. Go to the **Objectives** tab (first option in the left-hand menu) and select **All Objectives** or **My Objectives**.
2. Drill down to the existing objective you want to update.
3. Hover over the objective and click **+ Add a Key Result**.
