> OKRs are a good thing

Our company ditched OKRs and we are running much faster. It turned out that people already knew, at any given point in time and to 95% accuracy, what's the most critical work to focus on. We didn't actually need to spend 3 weeks every quarter hammering out OKRs with dozens and dozens of goal-lists across teams (and then another 2 weeks at the end of the quarter doing OKR progress reviews), when the real thing to do was just to fix the Top N things that are broken, and then keep that short-list of top issues fresh every week.

"But, but... how can you make progress without quantitative quarterly goals?? That's outrageous!" Well, you know how those things that are always broken are now getting fixed? That's how.
