Impact mapping and incentives help teams collaborate however and wherever they're working. Learn how organization-wide intention, from OKRs to working models, can build thoughtful connections.
What if you don’t achieve your OKRs? Is it okay to delete your backlog and start anew every quarter? This expert’s controversial answer might just work for you.
At 75% progress, Thanos failed to reach his objective. The primary blocker? Even as an all-powerful, all-seeing Villain with the power of the Universe in his hand, Thanos was too short-sighted to follow up his execution of the Snap. He failed to anticipate disruption.
