OKR (Objectives and Key Results) Foundation

At the time of digitization and implementation of agile principles in many companies, the classic annual planning cascaded by the top-down method is no longer enough. It is necessary to look for an alternative that is simple and at the same time allows you to set goals more often (usually quarterly), measure their fulfillment well and, if necessary, adjust them to market needs during the year. This alternative is OKR (Objectives and Key Results). In this workshop you will learn about the basic principles of this modern planning method, find out its advantages over the classic top-down planning, and in combination of theory and practical exercises learn how to implement OKR in your company and learn what to avoid.
