Overview

Background: In the context of rapid globalization and information technology advancement, enterprises are facing increasing challenges including increased management complexity, intensified market competition, and heightened demand for innovation.To maintain an unassailable position in the competition, enterprises must continually enhance their management efficiency and innovation capabilities.The OPTR (Objective/Project/Task/Result) enterprise management platform is designed to address these issues by integrating the strengths of goal management and project management, providing a comprehensive and efficient set of management tools for enterprises.

Firstly, to run a business well, it is necessary to have goals and execution ability; Employees should have goals and plans to do a good job; OKR aligns enterprise goals and employee objectives, creates synergy, and unleashes the potential of employees. Ultimately, it is about execution; PM (project management) is the most effective planning and execution tool; OPTR is an organic fusion of OKR and PM, based on management thinking and enterprise practices. It perfectly supports agile operations for enterprises and efficient collaboration among employees.

OKR + PM = OPTR !

Purpose: This paper aims to introduce the basic concepts, implementation methods, practical application cases, and significant impact of OPTR enterprise management platform on enterprise management. It helps enterprises understand and apply this management tool, thereby enhancing their overall management level and market competitiveness.

What is OPTR?

Definition: OPTR is an abbreviation for Objective, Project, Task and Result.This management method combines the advantages of OKR (Objectives and Key Results) and traditional project management, focusing not only on the final goals and results but also covering specific projects and tasks to achieve them.

Framework:

1. Objective: Determine the strategic goals of the company, department and individual, which should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound (SMART principle).
2. Project: Each goal has a specific project set up, including the main steps and workflow required to achieve it.
3. Task: Break down the project into specific tasks, each with a clear responsible person, deadline, and performance indicators.
4. Result: Regularly evaluate the results of each goal, project and task, not only focusing on achieving goals but also evaluating problems encountered during the process and suggestions for improvement.

OPTR's advantages

1. Comprehensive coverage of goals and processes: Ensure that each goal has a clear path and steps for achieving it.
2. Improve information transparency and accuracy: The progress of all projects and tasks can be clearly recorded and tracked.
3. Promote cross-department collaboration: Ensure that the achievement of goals has cross-departmental support and resource input.
4. Enhance risk management and problem solving: timely identify and manage risks, solve problems encountered in the process.
5. Responsibility allocation and performance evaluation: Each project or task has a clear person in charge and performance evaluation indicators to ensure that everyone is responsible for their own work.

OPTR Management Process

1. Set Objective:

   • The goal setting should comply with the SMART principle (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound). The goal should be consistent with the long-term strategy and vision of the enterprise.

2. Developing a project: Develop a specific project plan based on the objectives, clarifying the main steps, milestones, and required resources for the project. The project should have a clear timeline and deliverables.

3. Decompose Task: Break down the project into specific tasks, ensuring each task has a clear responsible person, deadline, and performance indicators.

   • When breaking down tasks, it is important to fully consider the abilities and resources of each team and individual.

4. Result: Regularly evaluate the progress of goals, projects and tasks to ensure timely detection and resolution of problems. Evaluation not only focuses on the results, but also analyzes performance and room for improvement during the process.

Steps for implementing OPTR

1. Preparation: Provide training related to OPTR, assisting employees and management in understanding and effectively implementing this method.

   • Foster a corporate culture of transparency, cooperation and continuous improvement.

2. Platform Deployment: Choose a project management tool tailored to the specific needs of your enterprise, ensuring it can support comprehensive management of objectives, projects, tasks, and outcomes. During the platform deployment process, ensure that all relevant personnel are proficient in using the tool and understand its features and benefits.

3. Continuous improvement: Establish a continuous feedback mechanism, hold regular project status meetings and feedback sessions to ensure timely communication among all relevant personnel and adjust work plans. By continuously optimizing and improving management processes, we aim to enhance overall management efficiency and innovation capabilities.
