Individual Objectives

Creating an Individual Objective

Inspire has Individual Objectives, Team Objectives, and Company-Level Objectives.  Individual objectives allow any user to create and manage their own OKRs.

An objective is a statement of a broad, qualitative goal designed to propel you forward in the desired direction. An objective answers the question, "What do I/we want to accomplish?"
