OKR road trip to Rome activity
Objective: Get to Rome after a nice road trip (departing from Barcelona)

Here are some of the conversation that followed:
-
Should we split into two objectives? (Get to Rome, Nice road trip)?
-
OKR checkpoints & review sessions (get to Rome)
-
Being closer to Rome every day vs. Deviating to visit a nice location (nice road trip)
-
Number of 5 star hotels stays per week
-
Number of museum visits per week
OKR XYZ MVP launch activity
Objective: to launch an awesome MVP
Please write the Key Results for this objective.
Here are some of the conversation that followed:
-
Strategie vs tactic vs operational
-
Launch or launching? OKR should not be binary
-
Launching – MVP, continuous delivery and incremental user reach and validation
-
To measure features delivery vs user satisfaction
-
To write the OKR based on the concept of MVP, even before having a Lean Inception to align (and details) about the MVP
-
OKR setup workshop (strategy) vs Lean Inception (tactic to operational)
-
OKR setup workshop (quarterly) vs OKR check point (weekly) vs OKR review meeting (monthly)
-
Mapping OKR to initiatives to tasks is not straight forward for a delivery team!
