OKR vs MBO: What is the Difference?

OKR (Objectives and Key Results) and MBO (Management by Objectives) are both goal management frameworks — but they differ in purpose, cadence, and how they connect to pay.

OKR focuses on ambitious, transparent, team-aligned goals with frequent check-ins. MBO is typically tied to compensation and uses annual or semi-annual individual targets. WorkVell supports both.
