Effective OKRs: Focusing on Outcomes and Finding Flow
When it comes to business planning, it might seem like setting key goals and using the right metrics to measure them would be simple enough for companies to implement, yet many struggle to find meaningful outcome-based metrics. What is the best way to set and measure key results for your software portfolio? How do you make sure that these are both meaningful to the business and actionable for your teams?
Enter OKRs, which exist to translate corporate strategy into meaningful goals company wide. Today, as more and more companies try to adopt an OKR-based management model, many are finding that it’s much more complicated than it seems. It can also be difficult to define key results that provide fast feedback connecting the work of the teams to the business and customer.
That’s where the Flow Framework® comes in. Software delivery work is measured and tracked against business outcomes, with an emphasis on creating an end-to-end organizational wide feedback loop around flow, resulting in data-traced actions that help meet OKRs sooner.
In this on-demand webinar, Tasktop CEO, Dr. Mik Kersten, and renowned OKR trainer, speaker and author, Felipe Castro, dive deeper into these topics and share learnings on how to avoid common pitfalls. Key discussion points will include:
