# 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

{% hint style="success" %}
You can use Key Results as standalone KPIs if you don’t need the full OKR framework.
{% endhint %}

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