From Mission to Strategy, going over Roadmap and OKRs.

In this session, Sebastiano is going to bring some light on the difference between Mission, Strategy, Roadmap, KPIs and OKRs, and how they all correlate. Through examples and anecdotes, Sebastiano will go through the process of shifting from strategy to tactics and how one of the main responsibilities for an engineering leader is explicitly making the connection between personal goals (for a manager or an IC) and the organizational mission and strategy. Sebastiano will also talk about the importance of measuring goals (through OKRs) and how leaders can ensure to stay on tops of those goals.
