Ever wondered why some OKRs just don’t hit the mark? Do you feel that the whole OKR process lost the sense of value to you and you don't know how to fix it?

Join us for the **OKR Roast**, where hosts [Victoria Sheer ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoriasheer/)and [Alexandru Bleau](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandrubleau/) will dive into real OKRs submitted by attendees, delivering witty yet insightful critiques and providing actionable feedback on how they can go awry—and how to make them better.

Attendees are encouraged to submit OKR-related topics or challenges, covering anything from process, fostering OKR habits, or aligning OKRs with larger strategy and vision. All submissions will be handled anonymously and anonymized as necessary, so don’t hold back!

P.S. This interactive online event will aim to address all submissions live, but anything left unaddressed will be followed up asynchronously or featured in a future OKR Roast.

We’re back to wrap up the year with ProductTank’s special Christmas edition! 🎄

Join us for valuable insights and practical strategies for turning ambitious goals into tangible outcomes. [Gojko Adzic](https://gojko.net/), author of Impact Mapping and Specification by Example, will share models to help bridge the gap between vision and execution.

***Filling Up the Air Sandwich***

When organizations do not have a good way to measure delivered value in the short-term, they often create Air Sandwich plans, which contain lofty objectives and a detailed feature roadmap, but nothing in between. Such plans are typically misleading because there is no clear way to track progress apart from measuring effort, no way to challenge assumptions and no clear strategy to deal with unexpected circumstances.

Close the gap between vision and execution, and help your teams define and measure value to guide delivery, adjust plans and validate assumptions. Gojko will present several good models to fill up the Air Sandwich. You’ll walk away with actionable insights to make your product development more cohesive and focused, turning lofty goals into tangible results.

To keep the inspiration flowing, every attendee will also receive a complimentary copy of Gojko’s new book, ***Lizard Optimization***!

**Agenda**:

* 5:45 pm – Doors Open
* 6:00 pm – PT Introduction
* 6:05 pm – TechTalk
* 6:15 pm – Talk: Filling Up the Air Sandwich with Gojko Adzic
* 6:55 pm – Q&A
* 7:20 pm – Networking

Book Club: Untrapping Product Teams with David Pereira

New Product Tank Valencia gathering is ready to go!

Transformation is notoriously challenging — nearly 70% of initiatives fall short. But what if the real key to lasting change isn’t a perfect plan but a shift in mindset?

Join Chantal for a hands-on session where we’ll explore how the principles of product discovery — testing, learning and adapting — can be applied to transform the way we approach transformation itself.

Whether you’re shifting to a Product Operating Model or navigating any big change (professional or personal), let’s dive into practical, outcome-focused approaches that drive results that stick.

Mark your calendars and don't miss out!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
