public-lib · Published over 1 year ago

Your OKR template

The first aspect of this OKR focuses on gaining a deeper understanding of software system design by collaborating with senior engineers in at least two software design reviews. Initiatives associated with this goal include researching, preparing and actively participating in the reviews and then sharing the acquired knowledge and input.

The second objective is to stay up to date on the latest trends and best practices in the software system design field through personal research. This includes engaging in discussions with professionals in the field, reviewing resources and industry publications, and attending relevant conferences and webinars.

The third objective revolves around applying hands-on experience in a specific logging framework onto a project. By doing so, its effectiveness can be analyzed with initiatives involving defining log messages, integrating the logging framework into the project, and understanding its impact on the project's performance.

The last objective is to complete an online course on software system design. The aim is to apply the theoretical knowledge from the course to the practical, working world. This course completion acts as a recognition of successful learning in the field.
