Deep dives
Professional journey and focus on metrics
The speaker has a long career in IT, starting as a software engineer and working in various software companies. Frustrated by the difficulty of describing and measuring value, the speaker made metrics their focus. They then delved into Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), consulting companies and gaining experience with both successes and mistakes. This led them to write a book on Lean OKRs and provide consulting and coaching on the topic.
