Overview
The Quarter-on-Quarter (QoQ) Alignment analytics show executives and the business program owner, a quarter over quarter view of OKR alignment across the organization. It’s designed to help leaders:
- Understand how their organization has progressed in aligning OKRs over time.
- Find correlation between OKR alignment and OKR achievement.
- Determine if teams across the organization need support to better align their OKRs.
Driving a higher alignment percentage score is helpful as an organizational muscle to capture explicit alignment, and bring forward clear visibility on how strategic priorities are getting localized across teams and layers of the organization. However, our data also shows that on average, aligned objectives tend to show more progress than unaligned OKRs.

The QoQ alignment analytic contains a bar graph which displays individual data points for OKR alignment percentage achieved in each quarter of the year.
