OKRs in a Nutshell. OKRs are a method for setting and tracking goals. An objective describes what is to be achieved. The key results state how we accomplish the objective. Let’s say, for example, that the objective is to “increase engagement.” The key results might then be “simplify user journey A” and “enhance feature alpha.”. OKRs can be used to create cascading goals—goals that are systematically linked.

This was a year when it felt like history was unfolding in real time – rather than the narrative of our time taking shape gradually over months and years, events were seemingly getting inscribed straight into the collective memory every day, or sometimes every hour. Such turbulence is never pleasant to live through – we crave a steady, predictable pace of progress, and above all we crave a sense of control over that progress.

CONTEXT! CONTEXT! CONTEXT! Storytelling skills for product management and product marketing are essential because without them, the value context (why the market cares) of what you’re building, marketing and selling is completely masked. That mask is usually in the form of technical product jargon and/or a lot of superlatives (best-in-class, intelligent, actionable, optimized, etc.).

As enterprises grow the use of open-source software, they face a new challenge: understanding the scope of open-source software that's being used throughout the organization and the corresponding exposure.
