Good thoughts, but would be nice if they spent time focusing on reviewing good examples instead of just mentioning what not to do.

Yes, this is the problem with things like OKR and OGSM. People write up incredibly vague examples to protect imagined IP, or a bunch of counterexamples.

Rarely do you see anyone public a set of "this is what good looks like".

Here, this is what good looks like:

The TL;DR is: In OKRs the Os are the gauges you'd want on a live dashboard of your company (not of your product) and the KRs are what each gauge cluster's needles point at.

They are not project milestones, they are not deliverables per se, they are numeric needle gauges making subjective qualia (the Os) objective (the KRs).
