About Goals

Goals concepts

Luna's Goals feature can be used with or without the formal OKR framework. Teams that don't use OKRs can still leverage Luna's goal-setting and tracking capabilities to align strategy with execution.

At Luna, we structure goals into two levels:

• Objectives (O): a qualitative goal. High-level, directional, aspirational

• Key Results (KR): a quantitative goal. Specific, measurable outcome that shows progress toward an Objective

You can use Key Results as standalone KPIs if you don’t need the full OKR framework.

This structure connects strategic intent with measurable progress, regardless of whether you follow formal OKR practices or use your own goal-setting approach.

📚 Some readings from Luna’s blog:

• Sharing OKRs with other teams: practical strategies

• Actionable OKRs with Jira: guide to traceability and ROI

• OKRs vs. KPIs: what’s the difference?
