Be Fearless: achieve your goals with OKRs
summary
Financial Times teams use OKRs to turn a hackathon prototype into a funded, deployed product that powers other offerings and wins project awards; work is planned across four types (strategic, tactical, operational, ASAP), KRs run 3–5 per objective, scoring uses 0–1 where score 0.7 indicates substantial progress, and alignment is done with short cross-team meetings and templates. The built result is a combined content search solution that ships to clients and proves reusable across platforms.
