‍Research tells us that tracking goals is one of the best ways of improving productivity across your teams (1), and when it comes to design team goals, we believe templates are way to go. Sample goals give you clear guidelines to follow, helping you avoid some of the major pitfalls. Today, we're sharing 5 sample OKRs (objectives and key results) for team members working in design including areas like web, product and graphic design.
