These goals should really be unique the company. But as the head architect, its your job to figure out where the company is going and design goals to get them there. A standard problem is monitoring, or more than one way to host/deploy something so good long term goals might be: All services must be on platform p All services must use <<CI system of choice >> All systems must emit metrics according to spec 1.0 system z will be turned off by march 2021, migrate to new system y These goals are clear, measurable and only have one instruction. They are not prescriptive. These goals can be given to the team leads to figure out how to do. You then have to watch them and try and gently steer them away from making new legacy/snowflakes.
