"How does **Google** use **OKR** ?" is what we are going to cover in this article.

**The Objective**

- is ambitious
- feels a tad uncomfortable
- definitive and measurable

When you set up an objective, initially you should define a goal by a sentence. For example, if the goal is "make my website prettier", convert it to measurable and numerical parameters. To better illustrate, "make my website 30% faster", or, "increase engagement 20%" may become your objectives.

## **Features of Google's Objectives**
