Yes, each team within an organization, whether it be a leadership team, functional team, or cross-functional team, should have its own set of OKRs. This allows for a more focused and tailored approach to achieving business goals and objectives. The process of breaking down OKRs into subsequent teams and creating an adapted set based on the specific responsibilities of each team is referred to as “Localization”. This ensures that each team is aligned with the overall strategy execution and can effectively contribute to the organization’s success. By implementing localization, teams can better prioritize their efforts and measure their progress toward achieving their objectives and key results. That being said, OKRs shouldn’t be “department-specific”, but the themes of the OKR should be shared throughout, to avoid silos.
