OKR template to implement a new CI/CD platform for seamless software deployment and delivery

public-lib · Published over 1 year ago

This OKR focuses on implementing a new CI/CD platform for seamless software deployment and delivery. It emphasizes alignment with the current development toolchain and is geared towards efficiency and performance. The OKR encourages the configuration and successful integration of the chosen CI/CD platform with the existing development tools.

Identification and evaluation of a minimum of three potential CI/CD platforms are part of the OKR. This is to ensure the best fit for the company's needs. Initiatives related to this may include testing these platforms against desired criteria or comparing their features and support.

The goal of improving the average deployment time by 30% is set in this OKR. Through automation and optimization efforts, this objective aims to make the deployment process faster and more efficient. This would focus on server and network configurations, automation of manual tasks, continuous integration, and removing bottlenecks.

Increasing deployment frequency by half compared to the previous period is another categorical aim of this OKR. The objective is to boost the deployment frequency without leaving room for any critical incidents in production. This would involve proactive monitoring and preventive measures.
