A paper-based illustration representing OKRs with its core stages and visible working result.
Product Strategy
OKRs
Four paper stations connect system purpose, quality goals, risk cards and focused investigation with a target and gap profile.
Architecture
LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews)
Purposedifferent
When strategic direction needs to become measurable, it connects ambition with checkable results. It makes goals connectable to focus and review.LASR helps development teams identify where their software falls short of important quality goals and which improvements to consider. A small group with existing system knowledge can make an initial assessment and investigate open questions in more detail.
