I am in goal-setting season again. So I turn to my favorite writers on this topic:
John Cutler on Milestones and Stepping Stones: “Yes, these are goals—milestones are goals. But they are a particular goal type that forces integration and keeps that near-term sense of focus and urgency.”
Jeff Gothelf on scaling OKRs: one team at a time.
Ryan Lucht on why client-side experimentation is becoming more costly: “… although easy to implement, it carries a multitude of less favorable tradeoffs — tradeoffs that may impact revenue generation, site usability, and experiment reliability.”
Earlier he wrote: What is the business value of experimentation? “All test outcomes drive real value AND the capability to conduct experiments creates strategic and competitive advantage.”
