\n\t\n\n
\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\n
\n\t

\n\tChances are you’ve heard the term “OKR” pass by at least once. Perhaps in combination with OGSM, KPI, or some other three-to four-letter acronym you can read in more and more business strategies these days.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\n
\n\t

\n\tYou may even know that it stands for Objectives & Key Results and that it’s a method for translating organizational goals (Objectives) into measurable results (Key Results).

Then you may also be thinking: wait a minute, hasn’t this been part of SAFe<\/a> for years? Yes, it has. Scaled Agile, the organization behind SAFe, has even given OKRs a prominent place in the SAFe 6.0 framework. That’s why we see that the OKR method is on the rise! <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\n
\n\t

\n\tAs the OKR methodology is increasingly embraced at the organizational level, OKRs are playing an increasingly impactful role, even outside boardrooms. So, when it comes to shared goals and translating organizational goals into team goals, OKRs have quite an impact on everyone who facilitates, guides, and manages (Agile) teams.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\n
\n\t

\n\tYet, we do observe there’s a lack of knowledge among Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, and even Product Owners. They have enough knowledge about their own role but are also faced with a plethora of tools and agile capabilities, requiring them to be versed in multiple areas.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\n
\n\t

\n\tThat’s why, together with our OKR partner Th[is] Performance<\/a>, we are offering a free meet-up that will introduce you to OKRs in an interactive and playful manner.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\tThis free meet-up is for anyone already working with OKRs or planning to start using OKRs in their team or organization. In addition, we encourage anyone working with SAFe to know and apply OKRs well, but other roles within agile working will also benefit from OKRs. Think about Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Release Train Engineers (RTEs), and other agile practitioners.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\tFor us, that would be a wonderful result and a great first step in your OKR learning journey.
