Man I wish I had read this seven years ago! We tried doing OKRs on my team and it never seemed to work. We ended up just throwing it all away at the end of the quarter and listing what we actually accomplished.

And I think it was because we were doing what the author says and shoehorning in our backlog into the OKRs!

I was really soured on OKRs because of it. Now I want to try again doing it “the right way”.
