27/01/2025

In this episode of the productworker, Oliver Winter and his guests discuss conversations between Ors Ripke OKR and Scrum. Urs Ripke, Management Advisor This And certified scum trainer Scrum allianceShare their insight into the practical application of OKR and explain how this method of target setting and progress measurement can enrich quick product development.

Clear targets and measureable results through OKR

OKR, that is, “objective and main results”, is used to define clear goals and check progress through measureable results. This structure fits very well with the recurrence of the scrum. In particular, the principle of inspection and adaptation, which is firmly connected to the scrum, finds its equivalent at a higher level in OKR. While it seems difficult to implement product vision in the scum, OKR can serve as a bridge to translate large strategic goals into implementable intermediate stages.

One of the main insights from the discussion of Urs Ripke and Oliver Winter is that OKR can help product owners to focus on the result goals instead of focusing on the output. This attention on impact gives product owners and their teams more freedom to decide on their responsibility and find creative solutions. The combination of OKR and Scrum not only makes it possible to define strategic goals, but also makes it possible to pursue them with solid functions in the sprint.

Another profit of OKR in quick product development is likely to increase interaction with stakeholders to a strategic level. Instead of arguing individual characteristics, the conversation can focus on the desired effect and large goals. This can provide relief from the burden on the product owners and gives them freedom to design the implementation independently without the intervention of the stakeholders in the details.

This episode ends with the practical recommendation of Urs Raypeake for all product owners: Just start! Even without assuring the entire organization of OKR, teams can try the way to achieve focus and clarity.
