This would have been perfect to include because it really cuts to the chase: every manager is first and foremost a project manager. "Is the box going to be ticked on time?" is the overriding concern because it discharges the manager's responsibility to their reporting chain. Quality is secondary.

I feel like this also explains why the literature (if you can call it that) around OKRs has so many contradictions, especially when it comes to "measuring outcomes rather than output"

The dynamic this creates is that everything is sacrificed at the altar of velocity - including the things that make it possible to do good work, or even stop bad work from getting done. This shows up well on a dashboard but creates a phenomenon that @jmspool.bsky.social calls "user experience rot."
