OKR Feature – Strategic Goal Management
The OKR (Objectives & Key Results) feature in Hidesc Task Management helps organizations set goals, track progress, and align teams at every level — Company, Team, and Personal.

Child Objectives: Break large goals into smaller, aligned sub-goals.
Key Results: Define measurable outcomes for each objective.
Tasks: Drive execution by linking day-to-day work with strategic goals.
Alignment: Top-down visibility from company to individual.
Measurable Progress: Clear tracking of Key Results.
Transparency: Everyone knows what matters and how progress is measured.
Execution: OKRs connect directly with tasks and projects.
