    Master the art of setting and achieving ambitious goals with Agile OKRs
    Scott Dunn's Scrum Alliance course provides practical skills that you can implement immediately

Sound familiar?

Your team is working hard.

The organization isn't winning.โ€‹

These are the conversations happening in retrospectives, leadership reviews, and hallway conversations at organizations everywhere right now. If any of these sound like your team, you’re in exactly the right place.
“We’re constantly delivering, but I can’t connect what we shipped to actual business outcomes.”

โ†’ OKRs bridge outputs to outcomes

“We keep pivoting every quarter with no clear priorities. The backlog is enormous.”

โ†’ OKRs create radical focus

“Our silos are killing us. Teams are doing great work that never connects.”

โ†’ OKRs drive cross-functional alignment

“Leadership doesn’t trust Agile is working. I need data that tells a better story.”

โ†’ OKRs make progress visible

Real-world Proof

Organizations that bet on OKRs โ€” and won

GOOGLE

From 40 people to 140,000

In 1999, John Doerr introduced OKRs to Google’s co-founders. Every employee can view colleagues’ OKRs โ€” radical transparency at scale. Google grades key results 0.0โ€“1.0, treating 0.6โ€“0.7 as success and deliberately setting goals ambitious enough that a perfect score signals the target wasn’t challenging enough.
Chrome captured nearly 70% of the global browser market.

linkedin

OKRs to a $26 billion valuation

Under CEO Jeff Weiner, LinkedIn adopted OKRs in 2008. Teams held 3โ€“5 OKRs per quarter with Weiner conducting weekly reviews. Every employee understood how their work contributed to the mission.
LinkedIn grew to a $26 billion valuation with OKRs credited as a core driver of aligned, motivated growth.

adobe

Solving the talent retention crisis

Adobe faced voluntary resignations spiking after every performance review. Executive Donna Morris built a continuous performance approach called “Check-in” โ€” built on OKRs, regular feedback, and career conversations. Annual reviews were abolished entirely.
Voluntary attrition dropped significantly and Adobe became one of the most admired workplaces in tech.

sears

OKRs at massive scale

Sears implemented OKRs across 20,000 employees. The key insight: consistency mattered as much as the framework. Teams using OKRs consistently across all cycles significantly outperformed teams that used them sporadically.
Sales per employee rose 8.5% within 18 months โ€” consistent OKR use produced an 11.5% increase in high-performer outcomes.

groove

Startup scale-up without losing focus

With just five people, Groove implemented OKRs from the ground up โ€” anchoring goals around customer satisfaction and streamlined product development. The framework gave a tiny team the discipline to operate like a much larger organization.
Doubled their customer base within one year while maintaining a 95% customer satisfaction rate.
