OKR Board for Product, UX and Engineering Teams
The OKR (Objective and Key Results) framework has been created by Andy Grove at Intel, and then later made it popular by John Doer's best-selling book Measure What Measures.
The framework has been highly adopted by many organisations such as Google and Adobe, with the goal of helping accelerate growth, increase team alignment, and also drive a more innovative culture where individual teams can easily see how their work fits / impacts the overall company objectives.
For a successful implementation, OKRs need to be adopted across the whole organisation, and whilst define from the top down, it needs champions to be driving dissemination from, the bottom up.
The key rationale behind OKRs is that is a collaborative, goal-setting framework that helps teams and organisations achieve their goals by defining identifiable and measurable results. The big promise is that it helps give purpose to teams and organisations.
The purpose of this board is to help Product teams (including Design and Engineering) to more easily align their OKRs in order to deliver a consistent product experience.
It should act a catalyst for team alignment and purpose creation where from individual contributor to team leads level, the team can see how individuals are contributing to the overall goal of the product.
The board template also helps by providing a Portfolio, Product Team, and Squad view, so users can easily apply it across the whole team.
This template was created by Mauricio Franzoni.

Work Breakdown Structure Template
Works best for:
Project Management, Mapping, Workflows
A work breakdown is a project management tool that lays out everything you must accomplish to complete a project. It organizes these tasks into multiple levels and displays each element graphically. Creating a work breakdown is a deliverable-based approach, meaning you’ll end up with a detailed project plan of the deliverables you must create to finish the job. Create a Work Breakdown Structure when you need to deconstruct your team's work into smaller, well-defined elements to make it more manageable.
Product Reflection
Works best for:
Product Management, Planning
The Product Reflection template encourages teams to reflect on past experiences and lessons learned in product development journeys. By facilitating retrospective sessions, capturing insights, and identifying improvement opportunities, this template fosters a culture of continuous learning and improvement. With sections for evaluating successes, challenges, and areas for growth, it enables teams to iterate on their processes and enhance future product development efforts. This template serves as a tool for fostering team collaboration and driving iterative product innovation.
Example Mapping Template
Works best for:
Product Management, Mapping, Diagrams
To update your product in valuable ways—to recognize problem areas, add features, and make needed improvements—you have to walk in your users’ shoes. Example mapping (or user story mapping) can give you that perspective by helping cross-functional teams identify how users behave in different situations. These user stories are ideal for helping organizations form a development plan for Sprint planning or define the minimum amount of features needed to be valuable to customers.
Decision Tree Template
Works best for:
Decision Making, Mind Mapping, Diagrams
Making difficult decisions gets easier when you can look clearly at your choices and visualize the outcomes. That’s just what a decision tree will help you do, empowering you to invest your time and money with confidence. A decision tree is a flowchart that looks just how you’d imagine—with “branches” that represent your available choices. It provides a stylized way to play out a series of decisions and see where they lead before you commit your real-world resources, which is especially valuable for startups and smaller companies.
Strategy Diamond Template
Works best for:
Leadership, Operations, Strategic Planning
To achieve key objectives, every business assembles a series of strategies. But what elements should you consider when building a strategy? A strategy diamond is a collection of elements forming a coherent business strategy. These elements include: Arenas, Differentiators, Vehicles, Staging, and Economic Logic. Most strategic plans focus on just one or two of these elements, creating gaps that might cause problems for your business later on. A strategy diamond can help you stay focused and ensure you’re fulfilling all of your business’s needs rather than one or two.

Roadmap, Planning, Mapping
