Stefan is pointing out how OKRs help defining a valuable product for customers, how they support anchoring strategy in the product backlog and how OKRs have an influence on the motivation of the involved teams.

German: Wie kann man ein Produkt mit kontinuierlich messbarem Kundenmehrwert entwickeln, Strategien in einem agilen Product Backlog verwirklichen und das Team motiviert am Produkt arbeiten lassen? OKR (Objective & Key Results) sind ein optimales Vorgehen um diese Punkte mit Leben zu füllen und Product Roadmaps zu definieren die scharf sind wie ein Messer! Praxisnah werden OKR im PM-Kontext vorgestellt und Strategien zur erfolgreichen Roadmap-Definition präsentiert. Inspiration für jeden, der OKR im Zusammenhang agiler Produkt-Entwicklung kennenlernen möchte!

The Agile values and practices we all hold dear not only give us the ability to solve problems associated with software development but provide us with the muscle-memory to address ‘awesome superproblems.’ These extreme challenges worsen through inaction and resolving them requires large-scale collaboration with people who often have competing values and goals.

A remarkable thing happens when we make progress on solving these awesome super-problems—we discover new ways to handle other similar challenges, which arise when we transform our organizations into Lean Enterprises.

In this keynote, Luke Hohmann, an internationally recognized expert, and speaker on Agile Software Development will show how decision-making and collaboration frameworks (thinking tools) pioneered by the Agile community can be used to tackle awesome super-problems. The author of four books, numerous articles and an inventor of more than a dozen patents, Luke helped co-found the first Agile conference in 2003, has served on the Agile Alliance board of directors, and consults with customers like Automation Anywhere, BMW, Cisco, RELX Group, The City of San José, CA, Verifone, and more.
