OKR Materials

Different OKR materials help you prepare for implementing and using Objectives and Key Result yourself. Before you start to use OKRs, it is important to be as educated and aware as possible. As it is not an easy system to master.

Like most books and articles about OKRs will tell you, you must also be ready for the system to fail on your first try. Implementing the system successfully can take 2 to 3 quarters. But the end result will definitely be worth it.

Here you’ll find the best OKR materials, articles and books that we at Weekdone have gathered together. 

 

We reccomend these printed OKR books.

Measure What Matters by John Doerr

Radical Focus by Christine Wodtke

Start Less, Finish More: Building Strategic Agility with Objectives and Key Results by Dan Montgomery

Objectives and Key Results: Driving Focus, AlignmDaent, and Engagement with OKRs by Ben Lamorte, Paul Niven

Start Less, Finish More: Building Strategic Agility with Objectives and Key Results by Dan Montgomery

All these OKR books are good, although different. John Doerr’s one is a good intro from the grandfather of OKRs. Radical Focus is a nice quick read in the form of a fable. Lamorte’s book is the most in-depth and theoretical.

As a free OKR e-book we suggest you to read:

This one is a “How-to” guide to OKRs. It will help your team or a company implement the best goal setting system currently out there. Filled with a lot of practical example Objectives and Key Results it’s a good quick handbook to launch and implement OKRs in your team.

Objective and Key Results: The Book  – “Objectives and Key Results: The Book” is an advanced guide to the OKR methodology. It suits people who already know a little about the OKR system and are looking to implement it.

Way too many people read something, watch a Youtube video, or attend a conference and get hooked on OKR. Only to fail using it as there was nothing to really help them get from point A (“OKRs will solve my problems”) to point B (“We are actually seeing results. Yay!”). This book will help you with that.
