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.

  • Applyig OKRs to execute your (product) strategy.
  • Crafting inspiring objectives that drive your business goals
  • Making OKRs measurable through outcome-oriented key results.
  • Measuring progress by creating data habits that stick
  • Facilitating impactful OKR Events tailored to the context of your company.
  • Strengthen cross functional collaboration with OKR routines.
  • Rolling out OKRs and ensuring management buy-in.
  • The role of an OKR Master/ Coach.
  • Overcoming common OKR impediments.
  • Adapting the OKR framework to fit your organization's unique needs.

"It is not only about theoretical concepts, but also about many practical tips and tricks that can be directly integrated into the work. [...] The toolbox for one's own everyday life is also very helpful. It is super structured, easy to understand and above all does one thing right: it brings an increasingly relevant topic from theory into practice."
