Patricia Reiners:UX设计师因其对用户和客户的关注,非常适合参与OKR的讨论。通过理解产品目标和关键绩效指标,设计师可以提升自身战略地位和职业前景,而OKR是其中一种有效方法。 Jeff Gothelf:OKR是一个简单但有效的目标设定框架,它帮助团队明确工作目标和衡量成功的标准。OKR与传统目标设定的关键区别在于,其关键结果必须是衡量人类行为变化的指标,而非仅仅是产品的交付。OKR的制定应该在项目开始之前,在开始构建任何东西之前,通过识别市场中的问题或机遇来设定目标。在制定OKR时,使用的词语会影响设计和构建过程,定性词语会引导不同的设计决策。UX设计师在定义OKR方面发挥重要作用,他们既能参与定性目标的设定,也能参与定量指标的设定。 理想情况下,OKR的制定应由跨职能团队协作完成,确保团队成员共同参与目标设定和达成。坚持OKR目标的关键在于团队成员的纪律性,需要有人持续提醒团队目标,并以此作为工作优先级的筛选标准。当出现新的机会或问题时,团队需要评估其是否能帮助实现既定的关键结果目标,如果不能,则应将其暂缓。 如果UX设计师没有参与OKR的制定,他们可以通过提出“为什么”的问题来了解项目目标,并引导团队关注最终结果(用户行为变化)。他们还可以通过询问“当我们成功时,用户会有什么不同的行为?”来引导团队关注最终结果,并参与OKR的制定。 Jeff Gothelf: OKR的制定者通常是产品经理或高层管理人员。理想情况下,OKR的制定应由跨职能团队协作完成,确保团队成员共同参与目标设定和达成。坚持OKR目标的关键在于团队成员的纪律性,需要有人持续提醒团队目标,并以此作为工作优先级的筛选标准。当出现新的机会或问题时,团队需要评估其是否能帮助实现既定的关键结果目标,如果不能,则应将其暂缓。 Jeff Gothelf: 与Josh Seiden合著的新书《Who Does What by How Much》是一本关于OKR的实用指南,目标读者是整个组织,而非仅仅是技术或产品团队。书中强调,任何工作岗位的人都拥有“客户”,他们所做的任何事情都会影响到他人。书中介绍了如何在各种情境下创建和思考OKR,以及OKR实施后的后续工作、OKR的扩展以及如何帮助管理者适应OKR的工作方式转变。
