Agile OKRs: Align Goals. Deliver Sustainable Value.

A diverse team collaborates around a glass wall covered in sticky notes labeled with goals, targets, and strategy.

Real teams, real alignment. Agile OKRs help unify goals across departments and roles to drive shared outcomes.

Are You Delivering the Sustainable Value Your Customers Need?

In the fast-paced world of Agile, it’s easy to get caught up in features, sprints, and deadlines. Before you do, pause for a moment and ask:

“Are we truly delivering the sustainable value our customers need?”

As Agile practitioners, we strive to create outcomes that matter—outcomes that improve lives, not just check boxes. So, how do we ensure everyone in the organization is aligned and empowered toward that shared goal?

The Power of Agile OKRs

From vision to action. OKRs cascade across the organization, aligning strategy with daily execution.

Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are more than a goal-setting framework—they’re a clarity engine. Done right, they connect individuals, teams, and the organization to a common purpose.

  • Alignment around what matters most
  • Focused, value-driven delivery
  • Momentum in complex, ever-changing environments

This immersive workshop will give you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to implement OKRs effectively—without losing your Agile soul.

What You’ll Learn

A virtual whiteboard displays common OKR anti-patterns, with learners’ video bubbles shown around the board.

Learn by doing. Identify and address OKR anti-patterns collaboratively with peers in a live, hands-on environment.

  • ✅ Articulate the “why” behind OKRs and their role in sustainable value delivery
  • ✅ Align OKRs with Agile values, principles, and events
  • ✅ Facilitate engaging, collaborative OKR-setting workshops
  • ✅ Use OKRs to drive focus, transparency, and improvement
  • ✅ Integrate OKRs with Product Goals, Sprint Goals, and your existing backlogs
  • ✅ Avoid common pitfalls and navigate real-world OKR adoption challenges

This isn’t a theory class. You’ll walk away ready to put OKRs into action.
