Create a goal

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

Last updated Nov 10, 2026

A Goal is an outcome tracked from 0% to 100%. For a number, use a Metric. For delivery work, use a Project.

Who can do this: by default, anyone except Observers and Guests can create a goal they own. Organization goals need Owners or Admins. See Roles and permissions.

Create a goal #

  1. Open a view that shows goals, such as Organization or My Goals.
  2. Click Add new at the top right.
  3. Choose New Goal. You can also press C.
  4. Type a title, and a description if you like.
  5. Check the owner and Scope pills. Scope is Organization, a team, or Individual.
  6. Check the time period, and set a Parent if the goal supports another. A new goal starts in your organization's current time period, or its parent's.
  7. Click Create Goal.
The new goal dialog with a title, and the Owner, Parent, Scope and time period pills above Create Goal.
Success check
The goal appears in the list. If it doesn't match the view's filters, a toast says it was created but isn't visible.

Your workspace may rename Goal in Terminology. For every dialog option, see Add a goal, metric or project.
