About this template
The OKR aims at reducing the frequency of rollbacks following system releases. The first objective is to initiate a feedback loop that will help understand and rectify all rollback reasons with each release. To achieve this, regular meetings will be implemented to review, analyze and document all rollback reasons, and develop improvement strategies.
The second outcome involves implementing monitoring checks to catch 90% of release issues within the first 48 hours. Automated system checks will be developed and implemented as efficient incident response procedures are established. Key functionality areas for intense monitoring post release are also going to be defined.
The last initiative focuses on reducing rollbacks by 20% by improving pre-release testing protocols. It aims to train the team on advanced testing strategies and increase the frequency of software testing cycles. The implementation of strict pre-release testing protocols is also on the cards.
All these strategies are geared towards understanding the root causes of rollbacks and developing better strategies to rectify and avoid them in the future. This OKR promotes timely, effective, and efficient system releases, ensuring improved service delivery and reduced do-overs.
