Create a metric (KPI or key result)

A Metric tracks a named value from its starting value to its target. Progress is how far the value has travelled.

Create a metric #

1. Open a view that shows goals, such as Organization or My Goals.
2. Click Add new at the top right.
3. Choose New Metric.
4. Type a title.
5. Fill in the metric name, the unit (Percentage, Count or Currency), the Starting value and the Target value. Leave the Starting value empty to start from 0. Shorthand like $4.9B, 250k or 12% works, and a $ or % sets the unit.
6. Check the owner, Parent, Scope and time period pills.
7. Click Create Metric.
