ONE THING on OKRs: Committed vs. Aspirational

When creating Objectives and Key Results, consider two types:

Committed are OKRs that you must meet. These are things like contractual obligations or new SLAs you need to improve to hit.
Aspirational are more like a stretch goal, something where you want to reach as far as you can and 70% of that number is still good. They may be recalibrated along the way.
