JennaButler thanks. Sounds like a great process.
How did you find the process of teaching people to write OKRs? What sort of challenges did you face there?

Aug 17, 2023The biggest issue was people wanting to get it perfect instead of just diving in and getting started. The OKR process is designed to take a few cycles to get right, but you need to get started to improve. We had folks wanting to get a lot figured out upfront that was easier to tackle once we got going. Another challenge was working between teams, and helping teams with OKRs that spread across teams or that had different styles than other teams. The Viva Goals team would help us in those situations. The use of the tag a team feature in Viva Goals really helped, as did the explorer view.
