OKRI conducts 13 live sessions (each session lasts 1.5 hours + 3 hours of Supervision sessions), one session every week. The Professional Course also includes the OKR Practitioner & Leadership Course. Participants will get access to the e-learning modules and online certification exams.

For all those who want to master the advanced concepts of OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and lead their companies (or customers) to manage objectives in this agile framework.

This certification enables OKR Certification holders to facilitate all levels of the OKR life cycle in their companies, from developing good and strong OKRs to deploying tactical, strategic, and operational objectives and monitoring progress with good governance and discipline. Using this acquired knowledge, the certificate holder will make the OKR culture successful for all team members and managers in their organization.

Objectives and Key Results are considered the Agile methodology for managing objectives. The original concept came from Andy Grove, former CEO of Intel, and spread to other organizations in Silicon Valley. It enabled the growth of these companies.

It is an approach that is simple to understand and challenging to apply. It creates alignment and engagement around measurable objectives related to company strategies, mission, and vision. The objective is to ensure that everyone moves in the same direction, with clear priorities, at a constant pace. OKRs have been a standard agile tool for startups, as they provide proportional predictability of strategic positioning and prioritization.
