Could you bring a any examples of individual goals? How are they worded for devs and how different they are from the product goals?

  It's not easy to list goals from the top of my head as it's not my strong side, and especially not if they have to be measurable (which good goals should be, rather than your boss evaluating whether or not you did something), but here goes: Goals could be "Pick up language X in order to help development on project Y" or "Get formally introduced to all R&D team leaders, and get introduced to their roadmaps" or "Facilitate 10 job interviews together with team leaders in marketing"

    Thank you. I asked because in the previous company I worked for we had difficulties setting measurable goals for devs and ended up tracking only product goals.

      Product can be highly variable (or uncertain) so dev goals would focus on skills necessary to achieve said product. Ideally these skills a general and transferrable. Have you ever read a white paper? You see how they manage to say that the product will solve every problem you have and nothing specific at all? Same idea.
