OKRs for development team – How to build a high-performing engineering organization

Working with OKRs for development team is crucial for ensuring efficient product development, high code quality, and a stable platform. With the right goal-setting framework, your development team can deliver valuable features faster, improve system performance, and strengthen team culture. Below are concrete OKRs for the engineering team to help optimize your work in Q1 2025.

OKRs for Faster and High-Quality Product Development

To create value for users, the development team must deliver features on time and with high quality. These OKRs for the development department will help achieve that:

Launch [Feature X] to all users by March 31, 2025.
Reduce average development time per feature from 6 to 4 weeks in Q1 2025.
Reduce the number of production bugs by 30% through an improved testing strategy.
Ensure at least 90% of sprint goals are met in each sprint during the quarter.

OKRs for Improved System Performance and Availability

High performance and reliability are crucial for a great user experience. These OKRs for the development team focus on optimizing platform stability and responsiveness:

Increase system uptime from 99.5% to 99.9% in Q1 2025.
Reduce average page load time by 20% by March 31, 2025.
Identify and resolve at least 80% of critical performance bottlenecks before the end of Q1.
Implement a new observability solution to proactively manage system issues.

OKRs for a Strong Development Culture and More Efficient Workflows

An engaged and continuously learning team builds better products and fosters innovation. These OKRs for the development department will enhance teamwork and streamline processes:

Increase the development team’s eNPS from 60 to 75 in Q1 2025.
Ensure at least 80% of the team completes technical skill development during the quarter.
Host at least 5 knowledge-sharing sessions to spread best practices within the team.
Reduce lead time for changes (from code to production) by 25% through improved CI/CD processes.

Summary – How to Succeed with your OKRs

By implementing these OKRs for the engineering team, you can deliver features faster, enhance system performance, and strengthen collaboration within the team. Want to learn more about optimizing your development process? Contact us at Noxit for expert insights and best practices!
