The course will enable product teams to use OKRs effectively as a tool for making decisions in the context of Product Strategy, Product Discovery, and Scrum. It will provide practical guidance and real-world examples to help participants apply OKRs to their everyday work.
What’s wrong with focusing on features?
Too many product teams focus solely on shipping new features without considering if they will actually create success for users or drive business results. This approach can result in a lack of direction and focus, and ultimately lead to a failure to achieve desired outcomes – what you actually set out to do.
