But that's not the kind of plan that comes out of these planning sessions. What you're describing is more like the effort to put together organization / unit level OKRs. That is a good thing. But getting everyone together to guess ahead of time how they'll execute that solution in detail is a poor use of time in my opinion. I think the planning exercise is useful for cross organization alignment at a high level, but for individual contributors, I think it at best makes their eyes glaze over and at worst makes them frustrated and demoralized, and then once the planning is done everyone goes back to doing the actual work, which of course doesn't match the plan very closely.
