FY20-Q4 OKR Dev Section: Increase Maintainers proportional to growth => 50%

• Key result: Maintain current developers to maintainers ratio - Nominate and add maintainers as we are increasing (BackEnd increase from 4 to 5, Frontend increase from 5 to 6) => 50%

Results

We grew in Q4 by 7 engineers (from 73 to 80). We added 2 BE maintainers and have now a total of 4 BE Maintainers (We lost in Q4 also 2 BE maintainers who moved to the Scalability team) and added 1 FE maintainer.

New Maintainers in Dev

Backend maintainer - Imre Farkas

Backend Maintainer - Heinrich Lee Yu

Frontend Maintainer: Natalia Tepluhina

Other Maintainers

gitlab-shell Maintainer - Patrick Bajao

gitlab-shell Maintainer - Igor Drozdov

Database Maintainer: Adam Hegyi

What went well

• We also added maintainers in other areas and have a couple of more trainees

What went wrong

• We lost 2 maintainers as they moved to other departments (scalability), which is in a company view not too bad then

How to improve

• Add section specific monitoring to section dashboard to also monitor constantly and revisit number monthly
