Synopsis
Google and Intel's success using Objectives and Key Results has lead widespread adoption. To some they are little more than a reinvention of top-down management by objective. Those people fear OKRs represent the return of return to command and control - decidedly unagile.
That is what this former OKR cynic thought, but after using OKRs with teams he got a surprise: they work. Used right OKRs fit well with agile.
OKRs offer the tantalising prospect of reawakening Agile’s radical side, aligning management with teams, improving communication, resolving the tyranny of the backlog and enhancing business benefit.
In this presentation Allan Kelly will share his journey from cynic to enthusiast and explain some of his surprising conclusions about how to us OKRs with agile.
