9-8: Performance Management Economics
Deploying OKRs properly without crushing velocity, and modeling the cost of PIPs.
🎯 What You'll Learn
- ✓ Align OKRs to Top-Line metrics
- ✓ Calculate the friction of performance reviews
- ✓ Administer technical PIPs
The OKR Velocity Trap
Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) deployed poorly will paralyze an engineering team. If an org demands 10 OKRs per engineer, the team will spend 40% of their sprint just updating Jira and tracking spreadsheets to appease management.
The purpose of an OKR is radical prioritization, not comprehensive task-tracking. Each team should have a maximum of 3 Key Results tied directly to a single top-level Engineering Objective (e.g., "Reduce API Latency by 50%").
If everything is an OKR, nothing is an OKR. Focus creates velocity; tracking creates drag.
