Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are a system for aligning teams around common objectives. Invented by Intel, and made famous by Google and Zynga, OKRs are a huge phenomenon among tech companies and, increasingly, in any organization that wants to operate like one.
OKRs are outcome-oriented and work particularly well for product teams. There are, however, some cautions and updates from common practices required in a healthy product culture.
