Teams fill out their canvas and sign it at the bottom. While the canvas can be customized, all include team name, mission, OKRs review cadence, who will attend reviews, and how we celebrate OKRs. When each team creates their own working agreement and commits to a cadence for reviewing OKRs throughout the cycle, they avoid the set‐it‐and‐forget‐it pitfall. I now create a one‐page OKRs working agreement canvas for each team member to review and sign at the start of the OKRs cycle. Based on its initial success, I now use this with every team I coach.
