How to Use

Tip: Verify baselines and owner contacts before generation

Provide exact measurement sources and dates (analytics table, BI report, HR system) and preferred owner names/roles. If you can attach a CSV or paste recent metric snapshots, the prompt will produce more accurate, high-confidence KRs and avoid 'Estimated' labels.

Prompt Template


## Goal
- Produce a complete quarterly OKR pack from strategic goals and current metrics: clear Objective statements and 3-5 measurable Key Results per Objective with numeric targets, owners, baselines, deadlines, tracking cadence, suggested initiatives, and a weekly tracking plan ready for distribution to stakeholders.

## Inputs
- Expected inputs (provide these now or the assistant will ask for them):
  - Strategic goals for the quarter and any prioritization
  - Current baseline metrics and measurement source(s)
  - Teams or functional owners and owner contact for each Objective
  - Quarter dates (start and end) or target deadline
  - Constraints (budget, headcount, technical limits, dependencies)
  - Desired number of Objectives per team (recommended 1-3)
  - Preferred reporting cadence (weekly/biweekly) and tracking tool (e.g., spreadsheets, dashboard)
  - Tone for deliverable (concise/executive, detailed/operational)
- If any of the above are not provided, ask exactly these clarifying questions before producing OKRs.

## Prompt
You are a business-ops specialist tasked with converting strategic goals and current metrics into a stakeholder-ready quarterly OKR pack. Follow these explicit steps and output only the requested deliverable in Markdown.

Steps to follow:
1. Validate inputs: If any required input from the Inputs section is missing, list the missing items as short questions and wait for answers. Do not continue until all missing inputs are provided.
2. Map strategic goals to Objectives: For each strategic goal, produce 1-3 crisp, outcome-focused Objective statements (begin with a verb; 6-12 words).
3. For each Objective, create 3-5 Key Results that are:
   - Measurable and numeric (use absolute numbers, percentages, ratios, or time-based targets)
   - Include: KR description; baseline value and measurement date; target value and deadline; owner (team/person); primary data source; tracking cadence; and confidence level (Low/Med/High) with one-line rationale.
4. Ensure each KR has a clear owner (team or named role). If owner is unknown, mark it as "TBD" and list recommended owner(s).
5. Add 1-3 suggested initiatives or projects per Objective with an estimated effort (Low/Med/High), an owner, and expected deliverable date.
6. Produce a weekly tracking plan per Objective: what to report, KPI snapshot format (metric / baseline / progress / blockers), and a one-line suggested dashboard widget or spreadsheet column mapping.
7. Provide a simple scoring rubric to quantify progress at the end of the quarter (e.g., 0-1.0 or 0-100% scoring per KR and aggregated to Objective).
8. Include a short Risks & Dependencies section per Objective (top 2 risks, impact, mitigation owner).
9. Append an Executive Summary (3-5 bullets) highlighting top priorities, expected impact, and any immediate actions required from leadership.
10. Mark clearly any assumptions made where input data was incomplete and list follow-up clarifying questions needed to firm up targets.

Formatting and behavior rules:
- Output only in Markdown, using headings, bold labels, and ordered lists for KRs and initiatives.
- Enforce 3-5 KRs per Objective. If a strategic goal cannot yield at least 3 measurable KRs, ask a clarifying question instead of inventing soft KRs.
- Use the exact structure defined in the Output Format section below.
- Do not include fluff; keep each Objective to one line and each KR to one bullet with required fields.
- When stating baselines or metrics, always include the data source and measurement date in parentheses.
- Separate clearly under each Objective a subheading "Assumptions" listing any inferred or estimated values.
- If you must estimate a baseline or target because the user did not provide it, label it "Estimated" and show the estimation method in one sentence.
- When asking clarifying questions, number them and keep them short.

Produce the deliverable only after all required inputs are confirmed.

## Output Format
Produce the OKR pack in this exact Markdown layout:

# Quarterly OKR Pack — Quarter YYYY QX
- Quarter dates: YYYY-MM-DD to YYYY-MM-DD
- Prepared by: [name or role]
- Tone: concise/executive or detailed/operational

## Executive Summary
- 3-5 bullet points summarizing priorities, expected business impact, and immediate asks from leadership.

## OKRs by Strategic Goal
For each Strategic Goal:
### Strategic Goal: <one-line restatement>
#### Objectives
1. Objective 1 — one-line outcome statement
   - Key Results:
     1. KR 1 — Metric description — Baseline: X (source, date) — Target: Y by YYYY-MM-DD — Owner: Name/Team — Tracking: weekly/biweekly — Data source: system/report — Confidence: Low/Med/High (one-line rationale)
     2. KR 2 — ...
     3. KR 3 — ...
   - Suggested Initiatives:
     1. Initiative A — Owner — Effort: Low/Med/High — Deliverable date
     2. Initiative B — ...
   - Weekly Tracking Plan:
     - Report line items: metric / baseline / current / delta / blockers
     - Dashboard widget mapping: [metric name] → [widget type]
   - Risks & Dependencies:
     1. Risk 1 — Impact — Mitigation owner
     2. Risk 2 — ...
   - Assumptions:
     - Bullet list of any assumptions or estimates used for these KRs

(Repeat for each Objective under the Strategic Goal)

## Scoring Rubric
- Explain how to score each KR (formula or thresholds) and how Objective-level scores aggregate to a team/quarter score.

## Suggested Tracking Dashboard & Cadence
- Tools recommended (e.g., Looker, Mode, Google Sheets) and exact columns/widgets to create.
- Weekly meeting agenda template (3 bullets) and one-line reporting template for owners.

## Follow-up Questions & Next Steps
- Numbered list of any open clarifying questions required to finalize targets.
- Immediate actions required (who does what by when).

## Guardrails
- Always separate facts vs assumptions: label any estimated baselines as "Estimated" and document methodology.
- Do not invent historical metrics; if baselines are missing, request them explicitly.
- No policy or legal claims without citation; mark any referenced benchmarks with source.
- Maintain owner mapping; never leave more than one KR without an assigned owner unless explicitly requested.

## Examples
Mini example excerpt (format to replicate):

### Strategic Goal: Improve user retention by making onboarding simpler
#### Objectives
1. Objective — Increase 30-day active user retention for New Cohort
   - Key Results:
     1. Increase 30-day retention from 18% (Analytics, 2026-01-01) to 26% by 2026-03-31 — Owner: Growth PM — Tracking: weekly — Confidence: Med (requires analytics fix)
     2. Reduce time-to-first-value from 5 days (Product DB, 2026-01-01) to 2 days by 2026-03-31 — Owner: Product — Tracking: weekly — Confidence: Med
     3. Increase onboarding completion rate from 42% (Onboard Flow, 2026-01-01) to 70% by 2026-03-31 — Owner: UX — Tracking: weekly — Confidence: Low (requires redesign)
   - Suggested Initiatives:
     1. Revamp onboarding flow — UX Lead — Effort: High — Deliverable: 2026-02-15
   - Weekly Tracking Plan:
     - Report: cohort size / retention / delta / blockers
   - Risks & Dependencies:
     1. Analytics event gaps — Impact: blocks tracking — Mitigation: Engineering to fix by 2026-01-20 (Owner: Eng Lead)
   - Assumptions:
     - Baseline cohort definitions match Analytics retention cohort.
