Expected progress
What Expected today means on a goal, how Brev works it out from the time period and milestones, and where it shows.
Expected progress is where a goal should be today if it moves at a steady pace to its target. Brev compares your progress with it to suggest a status.
How Brev works it out #
- Brev draws a pace line across the goal's time period. It starts at 0%, or a Metric's starting value, and ends at 100%, or the target.
- Expected progress is where that line sits today.
- With milestones, the line runs through each milestone's value on its date instead of straight.
- A Project with a due date paces to that date, not to the end of its period. See Project dates.
- A Stay above, Stay below or Stay between metric has no pace line. Its chart shows the value to hold as a flat line.
Where it shows #
- Goal page
- Expected today in the Progress card, and the dashed line on the chart.
- Check-in dialog
- A dotted marker on the bar, with Expected today under the slider.
- Goal list
- Hover a row's progress bar. The card shows the expected progress for today.
