A goal-setting workspace for engineering teams (platform, product, infra) running OKRs with DORA-metric KRs and live GitHub data pulls in Taskade.
What's Included
- Engineering OKR Tree: Team objectives cascading into squad-level DORA KRs on a Mind Map view
- DORA KR Database: Deploy frequency, lead time, MTTR, change-failure rate per squad on a Table view
- Velocity Agent: AI agent reads GitHub PR data and drafts the weekly engineering-team update
- Slip Automation: When deploy frequency drops below baseline, an automation flags the squad lead in Slack
- GitHub + Linear Sync: KR actuals pull every hour — engineering dashboard is real-time
Why This Template Wins
- DORA metrics live: Most teams compute DORA in a quarterly slide. Velocity Agent reads GitHub continuously — DORA is just the dashboard
- PR-flow connected to OKRs: Goals stop feeling disconnected from the daily PR queue
- Squad-level granularity: Each squad sees its own KRs without filtering through team-level noise
How to Use
- Clone this template into your Taskade workspace
- Customize squad structure and DORA targets
- Connect GitHub, Linear, your CI/CD
- Train the Velocity Agent on your engineering org
- Pair with Engineering Onboarding
FAQ
Does this work for platform vs product engineering?
Yes. Platform emphasizes reliability and tooling KRs; product emphasizes feature-delivery and customer-impact KRs. Velocity Agent adapts the update to the team's focus.
Can the agent identify bottleneck stages?
Yes. Agent reads PR cycle data and flags review, build, or merge stages as the slowdown — with squad-level recommendations.
What plan supports a 30-engineer org?
Pro ($16/mo annual) handles the team. Business ($40/mo) adds cross-squad analytics and audit logs.
