+100 on these, in terms of some of the other OKRs we’ll be formalizing, check out our objectives in the Q1 PGF budget

One key thing I want to note as others think about their OKRs: our highest order objective is to increase the GMV of Gitcoin Grants and related public goods funding mechanisms so that we can sustain the web3 ecosystem. There are many ways to accomplish this, but I’d encourage everyone to go through their objectives and ask “How does this help us more effectively build and fund public goods?”

In terms of specific OKRs for Q1

Grassroots Efforts

  • Help >500 new entrants to web3 understand why public goods are good via public goods PR
  • Greenpill >20 new contributors across the library via the public library

Grants Ops

  • Annika’s objectives above have been ratified and are good to go!

Public Goods Partnerships

  • Organize and execute on a framework for rank-ordering potential values-aligned partners
  • Help seed 3 additional public goods projects like 0xPARC or Verses via micro-grants
  • Find at least 3 values aligned partners to conduct token swaps with to push meta-governance in the space forward

FDD will be holding our Q1 strategy sessions between 1/12 - 1/17. I don’t want to post the goals before our collaborative decision making process. First, to not “lead the witness” in deciding our path. Second, to not create confusion if what I think of first were to change.

Sean from MMM here. We’re running a series of planning sessions right now. Current thinking is to have four key themes that are something like this with specific objectives and key results for each:

  1. Build the growth machine
  2. Build a leading web3 brand
  3. Support DAO workstreams
  4. MMM workstream health
    We plan to gather feedback on a full draft by EOW and finalize them by end of next week!

Hello! Sean from MMM here again! Thank you to those who provided feedback and support, we’ve now arrived at our objectives and key results for the upcoming season 13.

We did a lot of retro and strategy planning in January (15 + hours) and chose 18 outcomes for the next 90 days with three success metrics for each. Each outcome falls under one of our “Top Level Goals” which are the metrics we want to use and improve round over round. Details on the 18 outcomes can be found on our FDD Weekly Update slides. Here are our top level OKRs to work on this year.

Sybil Defenders - Legitimacy

Gitcoin OKR: Decentralization

FDD Objective: Build a community driven anti-sybil pipeline

KR 1: Increase # of contributors to the open-source feature engineering pipeline during season x

KR 2: (Cost / Human Evaluation) goes down while maintaining inter-reviewer reliability

KR 3: Increase # of ecosystem data partners

Grants Investigation Agency - Credible Neutrality

Gitcoin OKR: Scalability

FDD Objective: Increase participation, transparency, and legitimacy in Grant Eligibility process

KR 1: Increase average reviewers per grant

KR 2: Increase the total number of reviewers added during each season

KR 3: Minimize grant time to activation during review period

Ground Control - Sustainability

Gitcoin OKR: Decentralization

FDD Objective: Be able to measure FDD health & success

KR 1: Contributor satisfaction metric go up

KR 2: GIA execution score go up

KR 3: Sybil Defense execution score go up

Here are the final Grants Ops H1 2022 OKRs as ratified on 1/26. Thanks to everyone who participated in planning!

Scale: Grow grants program

  • Increase number of high quality grants that raise >$5K/quarter by 50% (pending market condition)
  • Increase the number of side rounds by 100%

Scalability: Set ourselves up to execute grants on a larger scale

  • Minimize the number of hiccups during the round
  • Achieve NPS for participants, partners, and donors of >70
  • Test at least two new constructs for funding grants (e.g., public goods coalition, aqueduct)

Decentralization: Continue to decentralize grants program

  • Move grants ops completely out of Gitcoin Holdings & into the DAO
  • Increase role of stewards/community in grants strategy & decision-making; define governance surface area

Hey,
I am working on a visual/design for the roadmap. I’ve copied all the text from this thread in an attempt to simplify every single one of them but to be honest I do not know which ones are important. I need these short and concise in order to make it visually appealing.

Thanks,
Octavian

I assembled the 2022 workstream plans into a strategy management system I built to address the coordination challenges of DAOs. Check out a video of the result here: https://omnistrat.com

This is great! Are there metrics around current grants raised = avg $/quarter etc.?

yes checkout Impact Results | Gitcoin

thought id just quickly show off the (work in progress) work that octavian has done so far on this.

wed welcome input into what format would help convey the roadmap to the world.

i was thinking something like this might be a good way to display what were up to. i think the simplicity of it is powerful: (note: the milestones in the image are just for illustrative purposes, not a promise of any outcome)

I have seen that format used by other projects in the past. I like it and support using it here. I especially like the ability to add new rows as they appear and how the time can be stretched horizontally if a precise time is unknown.
Trying to remember where I saw it…will share here if I can find it.

interesting to see how The Graph is organizing their development as they decentralize.

esp this graphic that shows contributors => working group => outcome
