Retrospection
See linked department-level OKR issues for more specific retrospection on pass-thru KRs
Good
- Achievement was generally high
- Our ambition when we kicked off the quarter was very high
Bad
- We tested our ambition to failure this quarter
- We didn't complete the optional equipment donation aspect of the upstream diversity working group
- We took too long to finalize OKR wording in the "dogfood plan" working group (55 days total)
Try
- Take on moderately less in Q4 to account for Q3's ambition, the holidays, and the taxing nature of the pandemic
- Follow thru on the equipment donation aspect of the upstream diversity working group
