Background

How do we know we are working on the right thing? This is a question any contributor to FINOS can ask, and which should be easy for any of us to answer.

There are many ways to create goals within an organization. This proposal will present OKRs as a goal setting methodology for the Use Case Working Group.
Introduction to OKRs
...
OKRs help us measure what matters
- OKR stands for Objectives and Key Results.
- The OKR methodology originated at Intel under Andy Grove, gained popularity at Google when John Doerr introduced them to Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1999, then took off over the following 2 decades and was successfully used at companies like the Gates Foundation, Twitter, Oracle, and Zygna.
- The main goal of OKRs is to connect company, team and personal objectives to measurable results, making people move together in right direction1.
- OKRs should be measurable goals that are aligned across an organization to create a golden thread of objectives.
- Key benefits of OKRs include increased clarity, focus, and collaboration2.
