Goals

Every number has an owner.

A KPI here is a target, a unit, a direction of travel and the person who owns the reading.

What you get

Everything below ships today.

  • Target and directionHigher is better or lower is better, against a target in the unit you actually use. Cycle time in days is not a percentage.
  • Readings with a sourceEvery reading is recorded against a period by a person or through the API, so a number on a review has a provenance.
  • A weight per roleThe same KPI can matter more to one role than another, and the composite score follows the weight.
  • Trend over periodsReadings sit on a period, so the movement is the record rather than a screenshot of last quarter.
  • A review loopA KPI review cycle asks the owner for the period's reading and closes when it has one.
  • Tied to the KRAA KPI is named by the KRA it measures, which is how it reaches the role, the SOP and the goal.

It reads the rest.

  • KRAsKey result areas linked to roles.
  • OKRsCascade with auto-rollup.
  • ReviewsCycles with weighted scoring.

Questions

Straight answers.

Does finishing a task move a KPI?

No. Every reading in the product comes from a person or from the API. When completing a task writes a reading by itself, this page will say so.

Can I load readings from somewhere else?

Yes, through the v1 API, and by CSV into a table. There is no connector to a third party product.

How do KPIs differ from goals?

A KPI is the steady measure of something you already do. A goal is a change you are trying to make. Most teams keep both, and here they are linked rather than duplicated.
