About this template
The OKR is aimed at boosting the efficacy of documentation usage within the organization. The first objective seeks to augment the average time spent on reading documentation by making it more user-friendly, interactive, visually stimulating, and contextually relevant. The ultimate goal is to achieve a 100% increase in reading time per week.
The second objective focuses on using documentation as a primary tool for resolving complex operational issues. Thus, it calls for making the documents easily accessible and well-organised, updating them regularly, training employees on their usage, and monitoring document usage trends. The goal is to resort to documentation for resolution of complexities in 80% of the cases.
Thirdly, having set impressive documentation goals, it seeks to ensure that progress against these goals delights both team members and managers. This requires the regular communication of updated documents, soliciting feedback on their usefulness and clarity, and promoting their utilization for decision making. Success is linked to getting appreciated for these initiatives.
