Joel has great use case scenarios that made it easy to digest the material

This was my second course with Joel (the first one was CAF), so I was already familiar (and looking forward) to his teaching style. I have been working with OKRs for 3 years, but recently I started facilitating the planning sessions where they are defined. This class helped validate many ideas I want to apply soon, + gave me a few aha moments. If you are torn on whether to take this course, I would encourage you to do it regardless of whether it's a brand-new topic for you or if you are somehow seasoned in the OKR world.

Joel combines deep knowledge with both practicality and humor - I was excited to bring what I had learned back to my team!

Joel is an amazing coach and trainer. In a few hours, he manages to squeeze in so much valuable knowledge rooted in his expertise and real-world experience. Very organized and knows *how* to teach to his audience! Highly recommended.

Great course. There is a lot of misinformation out there about the benefits of OKRs in Agile and this course helped me put together some key pieces that I can take back to my Product Owner teams and organization to real add value in what we deliver.
