Why This Is on My List
I've heard incredible things about OKRs and how they can align teams around common goals. Several successful startups and tech companies swear by this framework.
What I Hope to Learn
- How to set effective OKRs for a product team
- The difference between OKRs and traditional goal-setting
- Common pitfalls when implementing OKRs
- How to cascade OKRs from company to team to individual level
Why Now
My team is growing, and I need a better framework for keeping everyone aligned while maintaining autonomy. OKRs seem like a promising approach to balance these needs.
Recommendations
