About Course
This course equips learners with a structured method to combine Agile Kata (Toyota-inspired continuous improvement) and Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) to achieve strategic goals while fostering adaptability and learning. Designed for agile teams, managers, and coaches, the course teaches how to embed iterative experimentation into OKR execution, ensuring goals are met with agility and resilience.
Learners outcome:
By the end of this course, you will:
- Understand how to frame OKRs as “challenges” for Agile Kata.
- Break down KRs into iterative target conditions and experiments.
- Run PDCA cycles to test hypotheses while tracking OKR progress.
- Coach teams to adapt OKRs based on data from experiments.
Why This Course?
Most OKR courses focus on goal-setting, while Agile Kata courses teach improvement cycles. This course bridges the gap, showing learners how to:
Avoid “set-and-forget” OKRs by embedding continuous learning.
Turn strategic goals into manageable, experiment-driven steps.
Build a culture of adaptability and psychological safety.
Stop choosing between goals and agility. Learn to execute OKRs with the resilience of Agile Kata.
