From YouTube: Work Items - OKR Demo Dec-02-2021

Description

Melissa Ushakov walks through our existing OKR functionality and talks about what's coming next!

A

Hi I'm Melissa from the plant stage and I wanted to show where we are with our implementation of okrs using work items.

A

uh So here you see the issues list, but one thing that is different is that you now have objectives uh in here, so you can see a different icon that immediately signals that something is a specific type. We also have the type filtering. So if you wanted to see only objectives in this list, uh you can do that and you can also uh just like with the experience today, filter by assignese.

A

So if I wanted to, for example, find all the objectives that I belong to and you can bookmark this URL to the filtered list so that way as you're doing updates, uh you can see them and also for the things that are assigned to you. They show up in your issues over here, just like uh everything else.

A

So another thing that's been completed is the creation of a new objective. So this button has changed. It's now a split button uh to allow you to create either an issue or an objective from this list.

A

um So you see here, I'll create one real, quick. uh The experience is an inline creation.

A

And then from here you can click in uh what you'll see is a familiar UI, that's similar to task- and this is thanks to using the shared framework of work items when things are implemented for one of them they become available for the rest, so we're able to reuse a lot of the things that were already developed for tasks, including status. Assignees labels milestones, so you can assign people to okrs. You can set labels.

A

This is what we're going to use to denote what group a specific okr belongs to so I'll assign this one to product planning and we're going to use Milestones to depict a quarter so I'll assign it to fiscal year. 23.

A

you see here the beginnings of the child and objective key results: widget, it's not quite functional, yet it's still under development, but I'll show you what's here so new objective, like everything else being able to create a sub-objective in line, we go up to nine levels, deep key results, and you can also find an existing objective uh by searching by title.

A

So you can see here this isn't quite all wired up yet, but you can get a feel for what the experience is going to be like and same thing for key results and finding an existing so either new or existing for key results. The things that are still spent pending is the scoring that's under development. Now so you'll see a field up here to allow you to set a score and also there will be a calculated score depending on the children items and the other items that are more foundational work items.

A

I would call them are system notes of being able to see what changed with an objective or Q result and when and why so sort of the audit Trail and comments on discussion, so that will be key when organizing and providing updates. So that's it for what's been done, I hope you enjoyed the demo.
