Goals

The goal reads its own work.

Progress rolls up from key results, KPI readings and child goals, and the goal's Effort card counts the work linked to it: hours logged, tasks done and in progress, and who is driving it.

What you get

Everything below ships today.

  • Three levelsCompany, team and personal, with the same shape at each level so a cascade is a link rather than a retyping.
  • RollupA parent goal's progress is computed from its key results and its children. Nobody maintains a second number.
  • A verdict, not a voteOn track, at risk or off track is derived from progress against time elapsed, the same way for every goal.
  • Effort panelThe tasks linked through the KRA are counted on the goal, hours logged, tasks done and in progress, with the people driving them, without anyone attaching them by hand.
  • Owned by a personA goal has an owner and a department. What a role owns is the KRA, and the two are linked rather than confused.
  • Check-insUpdate a key result with a note and the history stays on it, so the story of the quarter is readable after it.

It reads the rest.

  • KRAsKey result areas linked to roles.
  • KPIsTrack, weight and score, tied to performance.
  • TasksLists, boards and every view.

Questions

Straight answers.

Who can set a goal for someone else?

A manager assigns goals down their own reporting line. Everyone can see the company goals.

Does progress update itself?

Rollup and the verdict are computed. A key result's own value is updated by its owner, or moves with the KPI reading it is tied to.

Can I see the work behind a goal?

Yes. The Effort card counts the linked tasks and names who is driving them, and Linked work opens each List, Space or KRA the goal is linked to.
