1/ 2am - New UI launched.
2/ Noon - execs shut down the product
1/ 2am - New UI launched.
2/ Noon - execs shut down the product
1/ New UI, prominent cards and more! Big “win” for Eng, PM, Design. Likely few promotions will be granted based on this work. 
2/ Execs had a cost-cutting objective but let the team go on a sprint to launch the new UI, calling emergency meetings minutes before the public announcement…
Exec rating: exceeded expectations.

Here are a few takeaways:
1. Focus on the bigger picture
When engineers work on a piece of code, they don't see how it contributes to North Star goals. OKRs help them see the bigger picture, so they'll value their own contribution more.

2. Customize OKRs
An OKR performance management system works best if you tailor it to your team's needs. Be patient when you introduce OKRs, have discussions to see what works and what needs to be changed, and welcome questions and suggestions from everyone.

🔸focus on outcomes
🔸autonomous teams
🔸understand customer/business needs
🔸data-driven
🔸run experiments
This is different from the traditional Goals → Projects approach of traditional model of working.

Guy's really onto something here.
'#DataDriven' contains a bunch of assumptions worth challenging, not least that #data is not #truth - it is only what you #choose or are able to #measure.

And, as well as being a way to avoid thinking - just set your #OKRs (or increasingly...
...pick your training dataset & model) and iterate until something breaks - '#DataDriven' is an insidious way to avoid #accountability: "We're just doing what the data says!"
Of course, the flipside of that is there is then no excuse NOT to be #transparent; why hide the data...
