Product OKRs
OKRs – Objectives and Key Results – are always most popular in product teams. OKRs originally came from product organizations like Google, Intel and Yahoo. OKRs are used by product teams and other departments to set motivating, ambitious goals with measurable results. OKRs are not the same as projects.
Most product teams are used to running projects, following roadmaps, and ticking the check-boxes after something is done. But completing a project or launching a new product isn’t the same as creating value and getting happy customers. That’s what product OKRs should drive.
How does your team know that improvements they made had a positive impact on customer satisfaction? For example, how much you can increase product usage or how much you can reduce the number of complaints people are making about the product?
Product OKRs focus on areas to improve and success is measured with actual changes in customer behavior, not by the number of features you create. When it comes to OKRs, it’s all about measurable outcomes you want to achieve, not ticking the check-boxes.
