Requirements

Basic understanding of Agile

Description

OKRs is the goal setting framework used by the biggest technology companies like Google, Amazon or Netflix.

Learn how to easily combine it with Agile to transform how you are your team works.

Agile has fully transformed the IT industry for the last 25 years, but by now it is clear that it fell short in empowering teams and give them purpose. For that reason most of Agile teams are currently working as feature factories, making very capable professional work like machines producing features.

Big tech companies are using OKRs on top of Agile to give them purpose, and turn them into missionaries of their teams and products.

The course is divided in three blocks:

1. Agile: "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly"

2. OKR framework through practical examples

3. How to combine OKRs with Agile

By the end of this course you will be able to combine the delivery principles of Agile, with the purpose and outcome oriented mindset of OKRs.

OKRs are extremely easy to understand, but don't judge them by the cover and be deceived by their simplicity.

OKRs are highly transformational, and will help your team to move away from just "doing more" to "achieving more"
