Accessing and creating Individual goals


Navigate to Goals > Goals (new) in the main menu.

Click Create goal to begin.

Types of Individual goals

There are two types of individual goals you can create: Delivery Goals and Development

  • Individual delivery goal: Focused on work-related objectives.

  • Individual development goal: Aimed at personal growth and development (no Key Results Owners).

Steps to create a goal


Goal title: This field is required.

Goal description: Optional, but useful for providing context.

Due date: Required; must be today or a future date.

Owners: The goal creator is the default owner. You can assign additional owners by searching for and selecting users.

Setting visibility

Control who can view your goal:

  • Everyone: Visible to all employees.

  • Specific people: Only visible to goal owners, key result owners, administrators, goal owners' managers, and selected employees.

  • Private: Only visible to goal owners, key result owners, the goal owners’ managers, and administrators.

Adding key results (optional for individual delivery goals)


Click Add key result.

Complete the required fields:

  • Key result title

  • Key result measure: Choose between Percentage and Number (including decimals or negative numbers).

  • Key result owner: Defaults to the goal owner, but you can assign different owners to each key result.

Adding relationships


You can align your goal with parent or child goals:

Click the Add relationships drop-down.

Select the relevant parent or child goals. There are no limitations on the number of goals you can link to, but you can only link to goals you have access to view.

Saving and publishing a goal


Save draft

Click Save draft to save your goal at any stage, with or without complete details. Drafts are visible to your manager, administrator, goal owners, key result owners, and anyone with the visibility settings you’ve chosen.

Publish goal

Once your draft is finalized, click Publish goal. Be aware that published goals cannot be unpublished. Only the goal owner and goal creator can publish a goal.
