Eliminate the Visibility Blind Spot: Connect high-level objectives to daily work so teams find purpose and leaders gain real-time clarity, without the burden of manual reporting. Atlassian Goals | OKRs
Join Abbas Heidari (Atlassian Expert & Community Leader) as we use a fictional Australian events company, Dragon & Drum, to explore how leaders can connect strategy to execution without drowning teams in status updates.
In the lead-up to Chinese New Year, expectations are public and delivery is reputational. When the drums start, it is already too late to fix alignment.
The "Strategy Gap" is the friction that happens when high-level objectives are set at the top, but the teams delivering the work - Engineers, Designers, and Project Leads - struggle to see how their daily tasks move the needle.
Conversely, leaders are often left in the dark, unable to see real-time progress without forcing teams into cycles of manual reporting.
