Quick Start
Generate OKR Cascade
# Growth strategy
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth
# Retention strategy
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py retention
# Revenue strategy
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py revenueOKR Structure
Objective: Inspiring, qualitative goal (what you want to achieve) Key Results: 2-5 measurable outcomes (how you'll know you achieved it)
Objective: Become #1 platform for mid-market sales teams
Key Result 1: Increase enterprise signups from 50 to 200/month
Key Result 2: Improve NPS from 35 to 50
Key Result 3: Achieve 95% retention rate (up from 88%)See frameworks.md for complete OKR methodology.
Core Workflows
1. Quarterly OKR Planning Process
Steps:
- Define company strategic priorities
- Generate OKR cascade:
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py [strategy] - Review alignment scores (target: >75%)
- Customize OKRs to your context
- Assign owners and set tracking dashboards
- Review weekly, grade quarterly
OKR Cascade Levels:
- Company: 3-5 objectives, 3 key results each
- Product: 2-3 objectives aligned to company
- Team: 1-2 objectives per team
Alignment Scoring:
- 90-100%: Excellent alignment
- 75-89%: Good alignment
- 60-74%: Moderate (review)
- <60%: Poor (needs revision)
Detailed Framework: See frameworks.md for OKR structure, scoring, and review cadence.
Templates: See templates.md for company, product, and team OKR templates.
2. Strategic Planning Process
Annual Planning:
- Analyze market position (TAM/SAM/SOM)
- Conduct competitive analysis
- Define strategic priorities (3-5 max)
- Create product vision document
- Set annual OKRs and quarterly themes
- Plan resources and hiring
Strategy Types:
- Growth: User/revenue acquisition
- Retention: LTV and churn reduction
- Revenue: Monetization optimization
- Innovation: New products/markets
- Operational: Efficiency and scale
Strategy Selection Tool:
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py [growth|retention|revenue|innovation|operational]Detailed Frameworks: See frameworks.md for each strategy type, market analysis methods, and vision-setting.
Templates: See templates.md for annual strategic plan and product vision document templates.
3. Team Scaling Process
Hiring Planning:
- Calculate team capacity needs
- Define team structure (feature vs component teams)
- Create hiring plan (roles, timeline, budget)
- Design team charters
- Set success metrics per team
Team Structure Patterns:
- Feature Teams: Own end-to-end product area (recommended)
- Platform Teams: Provide internal services
- Enabling Teams: Help others overcome obstacles
PM-to-Engineer Ratios:
- Early stage: 1 PM : 3-5 engineers
- Scaling: 1 PM : 6-10 engineers
- Enterprise: 1 PM : 8-12 engineers
Detailed Frameworks: See frameworks.md for team topologies, Spotify model, Conway's Law implications.
Templates: See templates.md for hiring plans and team charter templates.
