If you've got the problem of "hitting your OKRs" I think your problem is that "you have OKRs".

I've never seen a management system that is less suited for startup companies. In a company like Google you can afford to serve many many masters and the fact that you're not producing isn't visible to anyone. In a startup company you are desperate to find product-market fit. If success and failure are both possible, you can have only one Goal
