WHAM! A framework for workshopping product OKRs
In this post, Telenor Linx Product Director Ayesha Farhat shares a framework that she has used for product OKRs. Ayesha presents the WHAM framework, and her experiment to run an OKR workshop.

In the WHAM framework, W is for Walk through (the company objectives), H is for How can we, A is for Achievement outlook, and M is for Map to matrix. Ayesha takes us through the steps of the workshop and the framework. She says that using a framework provided her team with a guided approach to setting product OKRs.
