OKRs are famously vague to begin with, and you are ignoring the little tangible guidance that does exist. You're just describing regular old planning.

That's fine, because OKRs have a drawbacks and lots of people struggle to make them work. But if you're teaching people you shouldn't call your approach OKRs.

Totally agree about famously vague. :-) You know what you're talking about, and your more-detailed points are more-faithful to Andy Grove's writing than mine.

Want to help? I'll donate $50 to your favorite charity if can take a look at the GitHub link OKR in my top post, and tell me what needs fixing/changing/improving to help all people know how to use these better and for free.
