Introduction to the PEEL approach
Profit.co’s OKR software is designed and developed in such a way that it helps businesses set challenging and ambitious goals with measurable results. This document will help you use the OKR software better.
The PEEL approach walks you through each step of the OKR journey:
- Plan your OKRs
- Execute your OKRs
- Engage your employees
- Learn from your successes and failures in an institutionalized way
Planning
Planning is the first thing that you have to do before creating and executing successful OKRs. Your objectives and key results are conceptualized during this stage, whether you’re developing new OKRs or improving existing ones.
Execution
Following the completion of planning, you must proceed to the execution stage. Once OKRs have been created, you can start checking in your key results. Profit.co has a check-in feature that sends you a notification to progress your OKRs and update the status of your key results.
Engagement
Profit.co supports employee engagement by rewarding them for their performance and the success of their OKR progress. You can reward managers, peers, and subordinates. These awards, which are set by superusers, are a points-based rewarding system.
Learning
In Profit.co, you can use hashtags, tags, and @ mentions to note and communicate issues or successes that you’ve had during your OKR experience. Keeping a record of problems can really be beneficial in figuring out a solution and helping in learning your OKR management better. It’s important to remember that this PEEL approach of Profit.co isn’t a finite process; instead, it’s a cycle that requires engagement and practice in order to truly learn from experience
Plan
The use of OKRs as a system for setting goals has proven to be extremely successful for businesses like Google, LinkedIn, and Netflix. They keep pushing themselves and rising to every challenge by working tirelessly to succeed. Even they had to start somewhere, and planning for OKRs from scratch can seem like a daunting task.
In this section, we will discuss creating objectives, creating key results, aligning/assigning OKRs, and creating dependencies.
Objectives
Creating an Objective
In Profit, there are four ways to create an objective:
1. Step-by-Step Guide
The Step-by-Step guide, also known as an education wizard, helps you in clearly defining your objective with its functionalities and detailed steps, the Step-by-Step option takes the most time, but it also provides you with a comprehensive guide for creating your objectives.
2. Quick Create
Quick Create is the simplest way of creating an objective. It allows you to create objectives easily without having to go through several steps. By default, the objective created here will be public visibility.
3. Using Form
The Form option provides you with another quick way to create an objective in a single window to select KPI, change visibility, select target dates, and create alignments.
4. From backlog
The objectives backlog can be used as a space for drafting objectives. Click the icon between the action and help centers in the top right corner of your screen to access the backlog.
Once you enter the backlog, you can create an objective by clicking on the Create button at the top left of the screen.
Here you can write your objective, select the OKR Levels and add the key results in the same window. Once written, click on the “Create” button.
OKR Visibility
While creating an objective at the department, team or individual level, you need to select the visibility.
OKR Alignment
Alignment is one of the most powerful features of objectives and key results (OKRs). By aligning your objectives at an individual, team, and organization level, strategically aligned OKRs rapidly get everyone on the same page, working toward results that matter. The purpose of alignment is to unify the goals of your company.
Key Results
Creating Key Results
Key results are the actionable steps needs to be taken to achieve your objective. Key results are basically measured or tracked to determine the progress made towards your objective.
Similar to how objectives are created in Profit.co, key results can also be created in four different ways.
Default key result type
Depending on your needs, Profit.co lets you set the default key result type. This will allow you to save time whenever you create a new key result since you won’t need to manually set the key result type for each key result you create.
Click here to read more about how to set the default key result type.
Pending Check-ins
You can keep track of employees’ progress toward their key results by viewing their pending check-ins in Profit.co’s in Profit.co’s cockpit section.
Creating Subkey Results:
In Profit.co sub key results can be created just below the parent key result and users can assign it to their sub-ordinates. Users can also create sub-key results by distributing a key result and assigning it to multiple assignees using the distribute option.
Distribute weightage for key results
Weighted Key Results allows you to set weights and define importance for every key result. The sum of weights should be equalto 1. The weighted average of each key result will be used to calculate the overall objective progress.
Distribute weightage for sub-key results
Profit.co provides an option to distribute weights among the subkey results. By doing so you can create sub-key results, assign multiple assignees and distribute weightage to each key result.
Restrict Visibility for OKRs
Profit.co allows users to set visibility for OKRs to manage privacy when you want to create an objective for a particular group of people or for yourself alone. The visibility settings can be modified at any time by the person who created that objective.
Stretch targets for Key Results
Profit.co allows users to set stretch targets. They are often set to challenge individuals, teams, or organizations to achieve ambitious goals that may initially seem beyond their reach.
Key Result types
There are seven key result types, in which you can show progress by using the following KPI in the key results.
Percentage tracked
Percentage Tracked key results allow you to track and measure key results using percentage. For example, “Publish 10 Blog Posts” can be represented by the percentage of blog posts you’ve published. If you’ve published five posts, your key result would be 50% complete, or if you’ve published nine, it would be 90% complete.
Milestone Tracked
The Milestone Tracked option is ideal for tracking key results that need to be completed through multiple steps. While many key results are quantitative, there are times in which your progress can’t be measured
numerically. During such instances, Milestone Tracked key results can be used and you can achieve your key result by completing sequenced steps or milestones.
Task Tracked
You can create key results using Task Tracking in Profit.co. This key result type directly associates your task with the created key result, so that you can track the progress of your selected tasks from the workspace via key results.
Increase KPI
Next is the Increase KPI. This can be used when you are trying to increase the value of a KPI. For example, you may use this option for increasing the revenue or increasing the number of retail outlets that your organization focuses on. Depending on what you’re looking to increase, you can make your KPI increase the value of a specific number, percentage, amount of money, or time etc.
Decrease KPI
In some instances, it may be best to lower the value of a KPI. For example, an organization may aim to reduce the employee attrition rate, reduce the customer churn rate, or reduce the number of issues in a test or product. With Decrease KPI, you can decrease the numeric value, percentage, currency, or time of the key result.
Control KPI
The control KPI, allows you to keep the value of a KPI within a specific range, mostly above or below a certain amount.
For example, if you want to control the employee training hours between 20-40 hours a month, and maintain the click per cost at $2 to $4, it can be measured using the control KPI measure type “In between” because you’re looking to maintain a range between certain values.
Sometimes, It can be helpful to set goals from time to time. For example, you might aim for at least 10,000 visits every week on your website. The “at least” measurement type in the control KPI can be used in this case to measure the visits.
Consider the scenario where you want to enforce an upper limit. The key result of “Maintain APIs response at 400 milliseconds” is a classic example. In this case, you are measuring the API response which shouldn’t go over 400 milliseconds. Here “at most” measurement type in Control KPI is the right choice to measure the value and progress the key result.
From KR Backlog
If you’re looking for a drafting space for these key results, you can use the KR Backlog. You can also create a key result backlog to store your created key results. In Profit.co you can move your key result to the backlog and vice versa. If you want to remove the backlog from the list you can remove it easily.
Move Key results
Using the drag and drop method similar to how you rearrange key results in objective, you can also quickly move key results to any objective in the same department.
You can also move the objectives and key results to another department using the move option in the more button.
Weight Roll-Up Approach
A roll-up approach named KPI Based will set the progress calculation based on the KPI value. While choosing this option, we can sync the subkey result progress changes when the subkey result type and KPI are matched with the parent key result.
Assignments/Top down Alignment
Multi Assignee
You can assign a single key result to multiple users if the multi assignee toggle is enabled in Profit.co. This helps the assignees work collaboratively over a single target with combined effort.
Filter OKRs by Periods
OKRs are based on periods. Profit.co provides an option to filter your OKRs based on periods.
Change the cascade approach of a key result
In Profit.co you can now change the Assignment approach of a key result while creating itself or in the editing page before making any progress. Once the progress is made the cascade approach cannot be changed.
Clone/Copy OKRs
This feature enables the users to create duplicate copies of OKRs. By cloning OKRs you can edit and make changes to cloned OKRs and use them without creating any new OKR.
Note: The progress from the original KR will be reset to the cloned OKRs. You can also clone the associated tasks along with the key result.
Add Notes to the Objectives
Mouse hover over the objective name and click the notes symbol to add notes to the objectives.
Copy OKR Link
Users can copy the OKR link and share it with other employees to collaborate and get their comments. Mouse hover the objective and click on the copy link icon.
Copy OKRs name to the clipboard
Users can copy the OKRs name to the clipboard directly from the OKR List page. This enables the users to share OKRs’ names with other employees in the organization.
Share OKRs to other employees
Profit.co provides an option to share the OKRs with other employees within the organization. This helps the employees understand the status of other employees’ OKRs in the organization.
Dashboard in the OKR view menu
Users can view the progress and the status of objectives and key results in the Dashboard in the OKR view menu.
Cockpit Dashboard
The cockpit displays the infographic data of employees’ unassigned OKRs period and department-wise.
Note: Only the Super User, OKR Champion, and the OKR Captain can view the cockpit dashboard.
Alignments
What are OKR Alignments?
- Alignment is one of the most powerful features of objectives and key results (OKRs). By aligning your objectives at an individual, team, and organization level, strategically aligned OKRs rapidly get everyone on the same page, working toward results that matter.
- First, higher-level management or the CEO of your company outlines the company OKRs for the quarter. From there, department managers would come up with their own department objectives based on how they plan to contribute to the company Objective. You can also cascade down the OKRs at individual level and If you want to use those, you can align them.
- The purpose of alignment is to unify the goals of your company.
Profit.co allows you to align your OKRs in two different approaches,
- Top-Down Alignment – You can align your OKRs in Profit.co by assigning your Key Result as an Objective, or, as a key result/Sub key result. This way, the assignee will receive that Objective or Key Result/Sub key result. as a priority.
- Bottom-Up Alignment – There are times when individual contributors may have more insight into customers’ thoughts or other ideas that don’t necessarily reach the executive level. Taking into account employees’ ideas and contributions also adds an incentive to be invested and see the OKR through.
Top Down Alignment
Higher level qualitative KR can be assigned as an objective to an individual, department and team.
Assign a key result as an key result / Sub key results
Any level KR can be assigned as a KR/Sub KR to an Individual, department and team.
Bottom-Up Alignment
There are times when individual contributors may have more insight into customers’ thoughts or other ideas that don’t necessarily reach the executive level. Taking into account employees’ ideas and contributions also adds an incentive to be invested and see the OKR through.
Bottom-up alignment gives ownership to those levels of owners for contributing their initiatives or OKR progress to the corporate level or any level above them.
Aligning the Objective as a Key Result to another Objective
Align an individual, department and team objective as a contributing KR to another objective.
Align the Key Result as a Key Result to an objective.
Align an individual’s,department and team KR as a KR to another objective.
Align a key result as Sub Key Result to a key result
Align an individual’s,department and teams KR as a sub-KR to another KR.
Aligning the Objective as a Sub Key Result to another Key Result
Align an individual’s objective as a sub-key result to another Key Result
Dependencies
In Profit.co, you can enable and add dependencies to your key result. This feature allows you to create a dependent key result to manage the dependencies with other departments/teams. With this feature, you can effectively monitor the OKRs progress without any delegations because of the dependency factor.
Tags
Objectives in Profit.co can be organized using a system of tags or labels. Tags can either describe your OKRs using words like “Aspirational” or “Committed”, or you can categorize them based on the department with words like “Sales” and “Finance” so that you can search for the objectives based on tags right away.
Note: You can choose more than one tag for your objective.
End of Quarter Presentation

Execute
Check-Ins
Key result check-ins are an opportunity for you to track your KR progress and indicate your confidence level in achieving your key results. How often you check-in on a key result is dependent on the frequency you set for your key results during the creation process.
Many organizations select a frequency of once a week. Whether you’ve selected once a week or once a month, this will be the day where you check-in on your key results. In the check-in window, you can complete three components of the check-in process: value, status, and comments.
The status is a label that you can attribute to your KR based on your confidence level to complete it. The status labels are: Not Started, On Track, At Risk, In Trouble, Completed, or Archived.
You can also share OKR status through email. to learn more about it, click here.
Your check-in history is also visible in this window below the projection graph. You can filter check-ins based on “On Time”, “Missed”, or “Late” check-ins.
Note: Superusers can enable action center notifications to remind you of check-ins that are due today and check-ins that are overdue.
You can also edit check-in value in the check-in history for key results under the History tab in your key result overview page.
You can also check-in for a future target date.
Check-in above the Target Value:
Profit.co allows users to stretch goals or progress the key results beyond 100%. To progress check in beyond 100% the super user must enable check in beyond 100% toggle in Settings → OKRs → Key Result types
You can change the check-in frequency of the existing key result. When you create key results, the check-in frequency will be created by default, but you can always change it. To know more click here.

Reflect
Reflect on your OKRs at the end of the quarter based on your experience, The reflection process is pretty simple. You have a standard set of questions that you answer as part of your assessment. Learn more on how to reflect/reset your OKRs.
Reset
Before you start thinking about resetting your OKR, you should really look at the objective itself. Is the objective relevant enough to be continued into the next quarter. If the answer is yes, then you start looking at the key results.
At the end of your quarter, your key result’s progress is either Complete or Incomplete. Depending on business conditions, you can either Continue with the key result or Do not continue with the key result.
Based on these two decisions, you can decide the appropriate course of action for the key result:
1. Extend as is
The key result is not complete, but is still relevant. So, you continue with the key result as is. For example, you wanted to establish a retail location in Manhattan, but you are just 40% of the way there. This key result is still relevant, but there is no need to modify the target and hence we just extend this key result as is.
2. Add to Backlog
The key result is not complete, but is not relevant in this upcoming quarter.
3. Reset & Continue
The key result is complete, but you want to modify the numbers and continue because the key result is still relevant. For example, you wanted to solve 40 issues in the product and you ended up solving 30 issues. Now, this key result continues to be relevant. So, you can start with the 30 you’ve already fixed and reset your target to be 70 or something around there to get you going in the next quarter.
4. Complete and Close
The key result is complete, and hence can be closed. #Celebrate
