How to Relate Your OKRs to Your Technical Real-Estate
A recipe for collaborative product ownership: Finding solutions to business problems that are feasible and sustainable.
Target Audience: Product Owners, Manager, Project Leader, Architects
Prerequisites: None
Level: Basic
Extended Abstract:
How do you translate Objectives and key results (OKR) back to a hypothesis that can be challenged by the various roles within a team? How do you ensure that the communication around initiatives is not hindered by conflicting terminology or by misinterpretation? In what ways can you involve business stakeholders in finding solutions that will help them understand the technical constraints that a team has to take into account? And how do you prevent tech teams building the wrong thing the right way?
**Imagine:**
- a way to visualize and clarify to the relationships between OKRs, hypothesis and the underlying technical constraints within the technical real-estate;
- a clear path from "user need" to the responsible "components";
- having a common language to talk about problems in context, removing ambiguity and confusion in the process;
- and finally, a way to collaboratively dive into the nitty gritty detail of the current landscape and the proposed solution;
In this session Marijn Huizendveld will take you through the process of leveraging your existing OKRs to clarify what needs to be done to all stakeholders and members of a team.
Marijn Huizendveld – In a small backstreet of Tokyo lives a man named Aki, a 78 years old former chef. Aki spent most of his life trying to perfectly cook the rice he buys from his friend Mato. He's been at it for 57 years now, and still searches for ways to improve his cooking methods. There is probably not too much anybody else could tell Aki about cooking this specific type of rice. When it comes to his process, Aki's understanding is unrivaled.
After years of trial and error, Marijn Huizendveld could be called the Aki of Domain-Driven Design, due to his extensive background in both programming and strategy. He uses this experience to show teams and organizations how to recognize and act on problems and opportunities in an autonomous, self-learning fashion.
