Your OKR template

This OKR is aimed at effectively improving software engineering skills by managing time more effectively. The first objective speaks about enhancing the percentage of completed coding tasks by 20% each week. This will require identification and elimination of roadblocks, collaboration and clear goal setting within team members.

The second objective is focused on improving adherence to project deadlines. This will be measured by the ability to deliver work on time in 90% of cases. Strategies to achieve these include effective communication, clear deadline settings, task prioritization and regular progress tracking.

The third target highlights the reduction of time spent on non-essential activities by 15%. Efforts will be placed on setting limits for these tasks, prioritizing, eliminating non-essential activities and realistically assessing and adjusting the time allocated to these activities.

Finally, the last objective pushes for active participation in at least 2 time management workshops or webinars. This requires research and identification of relevant workshops, application of learned techniques, note-taking for future reference, and registration for the selected events.
