> For example: let's say you're in the suicide prevention team at FB, and your OKR is 'number of suicides averted'

That sounds like the sort of old-school KPIs that OKRs were meant to replace. I don't know if it's just impossible to measure anything, and you should just rely on a managers' word for how any team is doing, or if the people who did KPIs are now infecting OKRs.




They've always been closely related. The "KR" in OKR is "what is the new target for the KPI in order to reach O?"
