Listen Later

It's time for a Q&A. 


These are question I collected over the last weeks from comments and questions asked by future and current clients. 


0:01:47 Our output metrics take more than a quarter to see a change - how do we set OKRs for such a short period?


0:07:31 What's different about OKRs in scaleups vs. more mature companies?


0:10:38 If we use OKRs to say no to other work, how do the urgent and important things that come up during the quarter get done?


0:18:36 Can I use OKRs to transition from a sales-led organisation to a product or customer-led organisation?


0:22:39 Can I use OKRs in my personal life or in my relationships?


0:27:46 We use SAFe, the Scaled Agile Framework, so we already have a cadence. How do we integrate OKRs with that?


0:36:04 How do I convince my management to adopt OKRs?


0:44:18 How do I get executive buy in for my OKRs?
