The second objective set out in this OKR is to recruit and onboard five experienced software developers by the end of the quarter. To reach this goal, job listings will be posted on industry-related job search platforms, and the onboarding process for selected individuals will be facilitated. In addition, potential candidates will be shortlisted and interviewed.
The third and final objective is to achieve at least a 90% satisfaction rate in quarterly team feedback surveys. To achieve this target, any constructive feedback from previous surveys will be improved upon. Regular team bonding and communication drills will also be implemented, and all concerns from individual team members will be promptly addressed.
In conclusion, this OKR outlines the steps necessary to establish a highly effective software development team, by focusing on effective team-building exercises, a targeted recruiting process, and proactive maintenance of team satisfaction.
