N-gated Hacker NewsSo, you were wondering what to do with your life and stumbled upon GitLab's Encyclopedia Britannica of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OKRs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OKRs</a> 📚. Spoiler alert: the only tip is how to drown in a sea of acronyms 🤷‍♂️. Prepare yourself for a time-traveling odyssey of corporate jargon from 2017 to FY24, because who doesn't need more OKRs in their life? 🤦‍♀️ <a href="https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/developer-relations/developer-advocacy/social-media/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/developer-relations/developer-advocacy/social-media/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GitLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GitLab</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CorporateJargon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateJargon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TimeTravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TimeTravel</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LifeAdvice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LifeAdvice</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HackerNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HackerNews</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ngated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ngated</a>

YunaAgile Bible, Verse 5:“Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.”Now tell me, when every process, idea, stakeholder, task, OKR, strategy, tool, framework, micromanagement, team structure, and team requirement comes top-down…What exactly are you doing to ensure every individual has the environment and support to deliver their unique value and impact? (Spoiler: The value and impact is not equal to your role.

drmorrI just came up with the PERFECT use for LLMs: OKR planning. ✅ Just a bunch of made-up nonsense with zero basis in reality ✅ Utter waste of resources that could otherwise be used to do real engineering ✅ Requires constant redirection from someone who actually knows what they're talking about ✅ The results won't matter at all in 6 months.It's perfect!

Sara Lobkovich, J.D., NBC-HWC🚨 Hard truth about prioritization: If it doesn’t hurt a little, you’re not doing it right. 🚨When everything is a priority, nothing is. Too many organizations struggle with focus because they’re afraid to say no—but without true prioritization, OKRs lose their power.Maria Rowcliffe shares this and more in OKR Forecast 2025: Insights from the Experts.

Sara Lobkovich, J.D., NBC-HWCHave I ever told you about the time a senior leader in a large multi-national organization I was working with created a key result to fail ✨more often?✨The org was in an innovate-or-die situation, trying hard to transform from a offline, traditional model rooted in the past, into the digital and extremely-online present. They were struggling to find and build muscles to move faster, more nimbly, with less capital-P Process and friction, and more curiousity and experimentation.↴<a href="https://thinkydoers.social/tags/OKRs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OKRs</a>

Sara Lobkovich, J.D., NBC-HWCSince then, I've actually set key results to fail more often (and to make people mad more often, and to make more mistakes) ✨for myself.✨It's a wild thing to make a mistake and then go: "High five, self!

Sara Lobkovich, J.D., NBC-HWCThat sentence opens the door for simple questions:🤔 Tell me more about [desired outcome]? 🤔 If/when that happens, what feedback do you hear? 🤔 What behaviors do you observe? 🤔 Are there any patterns to what leads up to [desired outcome] happening?The energy shifts.

Sara Lobkovich, J.D., NBC-HWCIf I had a dollar for every time I heard an OKR workshop participant say:"What's actually really important is [desired outcome], but we can't measure that."Usually followed by nods, and sometimes even chuckles of agreement around the room.I always do a happy dance when I hear that sentence, since that's 🛎️🛎️🛎️ the jackpot.Why?↴<a href="https://thinkydoers.social/tags/OKRs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OKRs</a> <a href="https://thinkydoers.social/tags/SMARTGoals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SMARTGoals</a> <a href="https://thinkydoers.social/tags/GoalSetting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoalSetting</a>

Sara Lobkovich, J.D., NBC-HWCHere's what a healthy OKR system looks like:~30% key results in the red (progress but not full achievement) ~30% in the amber (significant progress but short of our achievement threshold) ~30% in the green (surpassing our agreed "success" threshold)All red? Your metrics aren't meaningful enough for people to prioritize and focus on them. All green? That tells me you're not running enough risky experiments to learn through failure -- which means you're underperforming. ↴ <a href="https://thinkydoers.social/tags/OKRs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OKRs</a>
