Team Goal Setting, Communicating and Tracking - Objectives and Key Results Methodology Implementation via Mind Maps
On closer acquaintance with OKR methodology, it becomes clearer that the most important things here are clarity and coherence of objectives and key results. And the specific way of the methodology implementation (for example, choosing software tools) is not so important - the key moment is that the objectives and key results should be adequate and correctly structured between people in a team. Software just should provide their easy browsing, as well as tracking and achievement assessment. And abundance of software tools in this area even seems somehow surprising since there is little that can be automated here and introduction additional software tools can only make it worse because each of them requires more attentional shifts, which resources are limited.
In some cases (if the whole organization is located in one office), the whole methodology, basically, can even be implemented on paper, without software.
Given all of the above, it is possible to consider mind maps as a suitable tool for implementing OKR. To clearly demonstrate how this can be done, I took the OKR examples listed in the most well known book on this subject area: John Doerr - Measure That Matters and showed how these examples would look on mind maps to see how well this way would be for maintaining OKR system for different use cases.
