Talk:Objectives and key results

Vendors list
While I quite understand that people want to know what tools are out there, the presence of the vendors list is just a magnet for spam links as shown by other articles. They should be removed for this reason. --gilgongo (talk) 16:09, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Not to mention the whole OKR thing is a pure charlatan space. --71.171.86.98 (talk) 20:32, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I think that's a little cynical. If you boil it down to what line management is actually supposed to do with their people in an OKR world, i.e. set near term objectives, identify success and progress metrics, and frequently meet to discuss progress and roadblocks, then it's just good management practice. Now, whether or not it works magic at scale is a whole different issue. What it does fit well with is product-oriented delivery, iterative design/development, agile, etc., and this makes it a good fit for modern management techniques - if done correctly. If not done correctly, it's the same BS as any other historical management framework (MBOs, annual performance reviews, etc.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.172.134.23 (talk) 03:56, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

But what *is* it?
The opening statement is tantamount to a tautology. Objectives and Key Results is a framework for defining and tracking...well, objectives and their key results. OK, but being told that a paediatrician is a paediatrician is about as useful. So, not too informative thus far. Then we’re told when OKR was created, who has used it, and what its aims are. Fine. But despite all of that, I still don’t know ''what OKR is. 70.112.38.105 (talk) 04:35, 6 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Some examples of good and weak OKR's would help. 24.64.96.165 (talk) 21:55, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Propose to mark as a Stub or Merge
The article now is an Ad not scientific at all. As this is a popular "KPI"-like approach, it may be merged with related "Management by objectives" or at least re-written...
 * I've had a stab at kicking off a rewrite of this article to move away from a promotional focus and towards a WP:NEUTRAL representation of OKRs.  Y.  ssk  20:48, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
