Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle enterprise clients who demand exact delivery dates?
Commit to fixed dates only for items in the Now column where technical discovery is 100% complete.
What is the optimal number of OKRs per product team?
Limit each team to 2–3 Objectives with no more than 3–4 Key Results per Objective per quarter.
How do you prevent OKRs from becoming a micromanagement tool?
Objectives state the strategic direction; teams define the Key Results and choose the solutions autonomously.
