Using Loom for OKRs (Objectives & Key Results)
Fastest way to communicate complex ideas asynchronously — record screen + camera in seconds with zero setup. When combined with OKRs (Objectives & Key Results), this makes Loom a strong candidate for teams who want a structured, repeatable workflow without sacrificing flexibility. OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) works best in Loom when you leverage its core workflow features to implement the framework's key practices directly in the tool your team already lives in.
OKRs link team and individual goals to company strategy through a hierarchical Objectives and Key Results structure. They are typically set quarterly and reviewed weekly.
How to set up OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) in Loom
Set up your OKR hierarchy
In Loom, create a top-level project named "OKRs — Q[X] [Year]". Use parent tasks for Objectives and child tasks for Key Results. Use task descriptions to track current vs target values for each Key Result.
Link team work to Key Results
Use a label or custom field in Loom to tag every task and project with the Key Result it contributes to. Run a monthly audit: what percentage of work in progress is connected to a Key Result? Unconnected work is a sign of strategic drift.
Configure weekly check-ins
Create a recurring task in Loom named "OKR Weekly Update" assigned to each Key Result owner. Establish a Friday norm: update current progress and confidence before the weekend so the leadership team has a weekend read.
Run quarterly reviews and set next cycle
Use Loom's reporting to generate a quarterly OKR review: which Key Results hit target (≥ 70%), which missed, and which were stretch targets that should recalibrate. Record the retrospective notes directly in Loom alongside the OKR records for future reference.
