“YOU DIDN'T DO IT RIGHT”

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Frameworks like OKRs can fail when they don't fit a company's culture, team dynamics, or existing processes, even when implemented correctly. After four failed attempts at OKRs, WP Engine found success with a metrics framework that let teams choose goals they personally valued and could directly control. Teams started with one metric for a quarter, then added one or two more based on what they learned. Rather than rolling out a framework company-wide, test it with one team, gather feedback, and adapt it or try another approach if it does not work.
