Key Results
The status of objectives in OKR is measured by key results. The Key Result describes a value that is needed to achieve in order to target the objective.
There might be 1-3 key results necessary to describe the objective. Also, they might be provided from multiple perspectives, not just from the perspective of product development.
There might be multiple activities or product features necessary to fulfill the key result.
