Bring the goal system you already run into Primer
Respectful translation guides for the frameworks teams already trust.
This is not a replace-your-stack page
If OKRs, KPI dashboards, Balanced Scorecard, 4DX, EOS, Hoshin Kanri, or MBO work for your team, they work. Every guide below shows how to run Primer alongside the system you already run, concurrently, combined, or in an A/B test, and then lets your team make the call.
Not sure which guide to read?
The guides are organized by source system. Pick the one closest to how your team talks about goals today.
You track outcomes
If you grade objectives on a 0–1 scale or publish a KPI dashboard, start with the OKRs or KPIs guide.
You run a framework
If you already practice Balanced Scorecard, 4DX, EOS / Traction, or Hoshin Kanri, use the matching guide.
You run MBO or KRAs
If your team grew up on Management by Objectives or Key Result Areas, those guides are the gentlest entry points.

Marc Benioff's V2MOM is held together by narrative. Primer leaves the narrative where it is and takes ownership of the measures layer.
