    • Python for Data Analysis by Wes McKinney (selected chapters)
    • Google Sheets API documentation and quickstart guides
    • FreeCodeCamp Python API integration tutorials
    Milestone

    You can pull OKR data from Google Sheets or Notion via API and perform basic Pandas analysis on progress metrics.

  2. LLM Integration & Prompt Engineering

    4 weeks
    Goals
    • Learn to use OpenAI API and HuggingFace for text classification and summarization
    • Design effective prompts for OKR status summarization and alignment detection

    Resources
    • OpenAI Cookbook and API documentation
    • LangChain documentation and quickstart tutorials
    • HuggingFace NLP course (free)
    • Prompt Engineering Guide by DAIR.AI
    Milestone

    You can build an LLM-powered agent that reads OKR entries and produces a formatted weekly status summary with risk flags.

  3. Workflow Automation & Pipeline Design

    4 weeks
    Goals
    • Design event-driven automation workflows using n8n or Zapier
    • Build multi-step pipelines that combine API ingestion, LLM processing, and dashboard output

Practice Projects

Apply your skills with hands-on projects. Ordered by difficulty.

OKR Status Summarizer Bot

Beginner

Build a Python script that pulls OKR data from Google Sheets, sends it to the OpenAI API for weekly status summarization, and posts the results to a Slack channel. Focus on clean prompt design and structured output formatting.

~15h
Python API integrationLLM prompt engineeringGoogle Sheets API

Multi-Source OKR Data Normalization Pipeline

Intermediate

Create a data pipeline that ingests OKR data from Asana, Jira, and Notion APIs, normalizes it into a canonical schema, and stores it in PostgreSQL. Include LLM-assisted field extraction for unstructured goal descriptions.

~30h
API integrationData normalizationPostgreSQL schema design

OKR Alignment Scorer Using NLP Embeddings

Intermediate

Build a system using HuggingFace sentence-transformers that computes semantic similarity between objectives and key results across organizational levels, flagging misaligned goals with a confidence score and visual dashboard.

~25h
