Product Managers OKR Examples

Product management plays a key role in turning strategic goals to business outcomes. The product manager is responsible for defining the when, why and what of the product that the engineering team builds. This means leading cross-functional teams from product conception to launch. The product manager is therefore responsible for setting the vision and strategy of a product.

The OKRs for a product manager should be defined in such a way that they inspire teams to work with more focus and passion. Defining OKRs for product managers is challenging considering that they can be drawn to the engineering side, sales side or marketing side.
