OKRs

The team has goals. Sort of. They're written down somewhere. But nobody can say how they'd know if they'd achieved them, and the quarterly review is a formality where everyone claims seventy per cent progress.

Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) is a goal-setting framework pairing qualitative objectives with quantitative key results. You define what you want to achieve (the objective) and how you'll measure progress (the key results) — then cascade them from company through teams to individuals, creating alignment while preserving autonomy in execution.
