About this template
The OKR is centered on improving the accuracy of story estimation by the software engineering team. The objective is to ensure that the team exhibits a satisfactory taste for the improved estimation process. They intend to achieve 90% satisfaction rate which would be quantified numerically.
To accomplish these objectives, the team will carry out weekly training sessions on the new estimation process. They will also consistently communicate the benefits of the new process and welcome feedback and suggestions for improvement. The goal is to adapt the process to the team's needs and comfort.
The team also intends to decrease the average estimation error to less than 10% in the subsequent 100 tasks. Adapting more accurate estimation tools and techniques, revisiting and adjusting estimations after each task, and training the team on precision estimation strategies are the initiatives to fulfil this.
Moreover, it's planned to train 100% of the team on advanced estimation techniques and methods. They will keep a track of training outcomes and comprehension, schedule team members for these sessions, and identify an appropriate advanced estimation training course.
