Engineering ·Team Q2 2026
Strengthen backend infrastructure
1
Migrate legacy systems to new architecture
2
Run 2 full-load performance tests with no errors
3
Decrease API latency from 350ms to under 150ms


Backend infrastructure work is the easiest to defer and the most expensive to ignore. This OKR creates hard commitments around migration, performance testing, and latency — making invisible infrastructure work visible to the whole team.


Three steps to get started

🎯
The migration KR is the riskiest — break it into phases and define what 'migrated' means before the quarter starts.
🔧
Performance tests should be run against production-equivalent environments. Staging tests that don't reflect real load are misleading.
📊
Measure API latency across your most-used endpoints in week 1 to identify which to prioritise.
