Using "deveríamos" is grammatically correct but changes the subject to "nós"; keep "a gente" if you want the informal tone.
Com que frequência a gente deveria revisão o plano?
"Revisão" is a noun; after "deveria" you need the infinitive verb "revisar".
Quanto frequência a gente deveria revisar o plano?
"Quanto" alone asks "how much"; you need "com que frequência" or "qual a frequência" for "how often".

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, "a gente" is the go‑to informal way to say "we" and is perfectly acceptable in most workplace conversations, especially in more relaxed teams. If you need a formal tone, replace "a gente" with "nós" and use "deveríamos" (conditional of "dever" in the first‑person plural).
