Working with goals

One page per goal feature: create, align, tag, track, score and close.

Create goals

  • Create a goal

    Add a new goal (an objective tracked as a percentage) with its owner, team, time period and parent.

  • Create a metric (KPI or key result)

    Add a metric that tracks a number, such as ARR or NPS, from a starting value to a target.

  • Create a project

    Add a project to track delivery work, with an optional start date and due date.

  • Use a suggested goal

    Let Brev's AI Goal Coach draft a goal while you fill in the new goal dialog.

  • Clone a goal

    Copy a goal, with or without its sub-goals, for example to carry it into next quarter.

  • Make a goal private

    Hide a goal from everyone except its owners and creator, and share it with chosen people or teams.

Plan and align

  • Align a goal under a parent

    Nest a goal under a parent goal so its progress rolls up, or add a sub-goal straight from the parent.

  • Align a goal to more than one parent

    Let one goal support several parent goals, so its progress rolls into each of them.

  • Share a goal between teams

    Give one goal to several teams, so it shows in each team's view with one shared history.

  • Weight sub-goals in a parent's progress

    Make some sub-goals count more than others in their parent's progress with child weights.

  • How parent progress rolls up

    How a parent goal's progress is worked out from its sub-goals: time-based coverage by default, or equal weighting.

  • Add milestones to a goal

    Add named checkpoints with a value and a date, so a goal's expected progress follows your plan.

  • Set a project's start and due dates

    Give a project its own delivery window, and see how a due date changes its pacing and reporting.

  • Tag goals

    Add tags to goals, create new tags, filter a view by tag, and delete a tag.

Track progress

  • Choose where a goal's progress comes from

    Set a goal's tracking method: Children (roll up from sub-goals), Integration Refresh (auto-track) or Manual Only (your check-ins).

  • Expected progress

    What Expected today means on a goal, how Brev works it out from the time period and milestones, and where it shows.

  • Goal status: On Track, Behind and At Risk

    What each goal status means, why a goal reads Behind or At Risk, and how to set the status yourself.

  • AI insights on a goal

    Brev's AI summary, highlights, blockers and tactics for a goal, and the sparkle that opens them from a goal list.

  • Mark a goal as blocked by another

    Link goals with Blocked by and Blocking, so a goal shows when the work it depends on slips.

  • Add an action to a goal

    Add an action item to a goal from its page or side panel, then complete, edit or delete it.

Edit and organize

  • Edit a goal

    Change a goal's title, description, owner, team, time period, target or other fields.

  • Edit several goals at once

    Select goals and change their owner, team, time period or parent together, or archive, clone or delete them.

  • Archive or restore a goal

    Hide a goal you no longer need without losing its history, find archived goals, and restore them.

  • Delete a goal

    Permanently delete a goal, and what happens to its sub-goals and check-ins.

Close out

  • Score a goal

    Complete a goal and give it a score from 0.0 to 1.0 in the check-in dialog, or change a score later.

  • Close out a quarter or time period

    End-of-quarter steps: refresh tracked values, score your goals, carry goals forward into the next period, and make it current.
