Creating and tracking goals (OKRs)

OKRs in Dapplon

OKR stands for Objectives and Key Results. An Objective is a qualitative, ambitious goal (e.g., "Become the most-loved HR platform in India"). Key Results are the measurable milestones that tell you whether you are achieving the objective (e.g., "Reach 50,000 active users by Q3").

Dapplon's goal module lets you cascade goals from the company level down to teams and individuals.

2. Click + New Goal
3. Set the Level: Company, Department, or Individual

5. Set the Time Period: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, or a custom date range
6. Click Add Key Result and enter each metric:

- Key Result description

- Target value (e.g., 50,000 users)
