I'm curious why this is OKR specific. Shouldn't you be tracking those metrics anyways?

  Recently our sales guys got some hefty clients, and have started to bring in serious money. In order to keep up, we needed to turn development time from just a metric, into an OKR. Moreover, our clients sometimes put pressure on us to ship out X feature immediately, in response to a competitor. This means that sometimes the 10 devs are working on different features for different clients. So, just like the book, “Measure what matters.” Don’t measure useless things like commits per dev or features shipped last quarter, the important thing for our division is development time. Presumably when we get development times down, our OKRs will change to other things, like overall client satisfaction. But for now, the top concern is to meet sales volume, so our OKR is development time
