Online OKR workshop · 26–27 November 2026 · in Polish
Learn and implement OKRs
Two days of workshops and one hundred per cent practice. Lena Zhukova takes you through what decides whether working with OKRs succeeds: from the goal of the implementation, through writing objectives and metrics, to planning, reviews and retrospectives.

What you take away
Four things you leave with after two days
- 01
You know how to implement OKRs where you are
In a company, a product or a single team. We show both paths: for those just starting to work with OKRs and for those who want to roll them out across the whole company.
- 02
You can write objectives and metrics that lead to action
Outcome-focused objectives, metrics, a work plan, monitoring, lessons learned and working with the team. On our own OKR implementation framework, proven in practice.
- 03
You have templates and materials to use straight away
Plenty of real-life tips, ready-made templates and materials you can use in your own company right after the workshop.
- 04
You stay in the participants' group
A closed group where participants share knowledge and support each other after the workshop too.
Agenda
Two days, six hours each
Day 1
Thursday, 26 November · 9:00–15:00 CET
- 01
Workshop kick-off
Welcome, organisational matters and getting to know the participants.
- 02
Exercise: the goal of the OKR implementation
The goal of the implementation is one of the key elements. We practise defining it for your organisation or team.
- 03
How to write good OKRs
Where OKRs sit in an organisation next to mission, vision and strategy, the questions for shaping a strategy, and writing OKRs. We discuss the results and write them again. We spend a good deal of time on this, because it is an important part of the workshop.
- 04
Metrics
KPIs, leading and lagging metrics: how to find them, how to build them and connect them with each other.
- 05
The OKR cycle and structure
The stages of getting started: choosing the right cycle, the structure of OKRs, where to start, roles and responsibilities.
- 06
Communication
What to communicate, to whom, when and how. Also when OKRs work only in one product, team or part of the organisation.
Day 2
Friday, 27 November · 9:00–15:00 CET
- 01
Contracting teams
Who works on OKRs, how to agree goals and work with the team, and how to communicate it.
- 02
Meetings and workshops
Facilitation is one of our hobby horses. We show how we prepare and run meetings with teams and what we pay attention to when working with a group.
- 03
Planning the work
Written objectives do not guarantee delivery. How to plan the team's work, reconcile it with other tasks and fit it into other ways of working: project management, Scrum, Kanban.
- 04
Tracking progress during the quarter
How to monitor progress, whether to hold review meetings and how to run them, which questions to ask, which tools to use, how to communicate changes and resolve blockers and dependencies.
- 05
Retrospectives
How to draw lessons from working with OKRs: the structure of a retrospective, questions, tips.
- 06
Inspect & Adapt
How to check whether OKRs are helping you, how to adapt the process and extend it to other parts of the organisation.
- 07
Tools and the knowledge base
A comparison of OKR tools and access to the knowledge base.
Fully online, in Google Meet and Mural.
