Targets

Set team goals with clear success criteria and track progress to completion.

Last updated April 2026

Problem

Goals are set at the start of the quarter and forgotten. Progress is hard to track, conversations about development lack context, and there is no clear record of how targets evolved over time.

Solution

Visual goal tracking with status indicators, team assignment, and progress comments. Instead of vague aspirations, you get measurable objectives that everyone can see and work towards.

Why Use Targets

Visual Progress

See at a glance how each target is progressing with clear status indicators. Quickly identify what is on track, at risk, or overdue.

Team Assignment

Create targets for individual team members or entire teams. Keep everyone aligned on what success looks like and who is responsible.

Comment Trail

Add progress updates as comments to build a timeline of how a target evolved. Useful context for performance reviews and development conversations.

Status Indicators

Mark targets as on track, at risk, or blocked. Flag problems early while there is still time to adjust course and provide support.

Keep the number of active targets per person manageable - three to five is the sweet spot. Too many active targets dilutes focus and makes it harder to make meaningful progress on any of them.
