And that's fine I think, it's why a lot of companies are using one or more of the agile methodologies. But if that's combined with OKRs then said OKRs need to be adjusted, and it'll be down to the manager to pay that cost.

We use SAFe at my current job (please don't look at the website, if you thought the "scrum" infographic was too big already lol); we set quarterly goals and objectives, usually don't meet them because Reasons, but if there is an incident or change that warrants changing those goals it's a Big Thing and we basically redo the planning sessions (two days or so); it's a big disruption and it's costly so it's not done lightly. We've only done that once in the past two and a half years or so.

Isn't this the very definition of not being agile?


It's what the consulting class invented to lift the power that agile places in individual teams back up to management.
