About the Book
What serious manager would be without OKRs and KPIs?
These similar numerical based techniques have become the must have management tools of the 21st century. But there is more to using them than simply declaring "We shall have OKRs" and declaring every vaguely interesting number a Key Performance Indicator.
In fact, while KPIs and OKRs look superficially similar they are not the same thing. While neither is particularly complicated they are often misunderstood and misused. This books sets out to explain the basics of what OKRs and KPIs are and how they should be used.
After writing "Succeeding with OKRs in Agile" Allan found he was repeatedly asked "How do you combined OKRs with KPIs?" This book is his full answer to that question.
Along the way he:
- What OKRs and KPIs are and how they should be used.
- The three different ways organisations work with KPIs and which to avoid!
- Cautions against purely managing by number. Allan explains they every number and goal needs to feed towards some meaningful non-numerical goal.
- Explains why revenue and profit are not the goals you should be chasing.
- How to place KPIs, OKRs and goals within a complete business model.
This book is a work in progress. Buyers will receive free updates as new version are delivered on LeanPub.
