From "Introduction to OKRs", www.oreilly.com/business/free/files/introduction-to-okrs.pdf:
OKR is an acronym, and like most acronyms, the words behind the letters are often forgotten. This is a deadly mistake.
How Objectives and Key Results are life-and-death is not covered on that page or the entire document.
O'Reilly editors, please note:
<li>This is a PDF, not a print pamphlet. Treat it as such.</li>As it is, <a href="https://medium.com/@cwodtke" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christina Wodtke</a> provides some useful bits if you dig through the dry text. These aren't new. You've seen their like before and will again. Christina needed a narrative (she hinted at stories from her storied career) and a real editor to make this pop.
This piece is a free PDF. Maybe this is new to you. If so, dive in! If not, the only cost is that you could be reading something else. Taking a few minutes to review or reacquaint yourself is valuable, too.
