Security work competes with feature work and keeps losing. Useful for IT and security teams too.

Make it work for your team

Set your baseline. Check where you are today, then choose targets that stretch your team.

Agree on ownership. Give each key result a clear owner and a source of data.

Check in every week. Review the numbers, share confidence, and decide what needs attention.
