Main data fields and structure

The data in Luna is organized around four main object types: Objectives, Key Results, Launches, and Milestones.

Hierarchy

Objectives → Key Results → Launches → Milestones

  • Objectives are qualitative goals that set the strategic direction.

  • Key Results are quantitative goals that measure progress toward an Objective.

  • Launches are initiatives that drive Key Results

  • Milestones track progress within each launch

  • One launch can contribute to multiple Key Results, allowing for strategic flexibility.

  • Objectives, Key Results, and Launches can be created and used independently.

  • The data below can either be entered directly in Luna, synced from integrations, or enriched by AI.

  • You don’t need to adopt the OKR framework to use these fields. If you simply want to track KPIs, you can use the Key Result fields on their own.
