Running a business involves lots of duties and responsibilities. All the departments need to follow the same path to achieve a common objective. Product development and focusing on the minor details can increase the demand and efficiency of the product. It is very important to maintain unity and should work on achieving the same objective.

OKRs can be used to create cascading goals—goals that are systematically linked.
