Stephen P. Berczuk's Blog

Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are a common way that organizations set goals for a planning timeframe (a Quarter, a year, or other). Despite how much sense the concept makes on the surface, the approach often gets mixed reviews, being seen less as useful and more as a necessary bureaucratic evil. This is often because it’s implemented poorly, not aligned with the core principles.
