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.
A goal's status says how it is doing against its expected progress. Brev suggests one at every check-in, and you can pick your own.
The six statuses #
- Not Started
- No progress yet. At 0%, Brev suggests it only when the goal is more than 25 points behind the expected pace.
- On Track
- At or above the expected progress for today.
- Behind
- Below the expected progress by up to 25 percentage points.
- At Risk
- More than 25 points below the expected progress.
- Postponed
- Paused. Brev never sets it; you pick it.
- Completed
- Finished and scored. See Score a goal.
How status follows progress #
Brev compares progress with expected progress and suggests On Track, Behind or At Risk. A few cases differ:
- At 0% and more than 25 points behind, the goal reads Not Started, not At Risk.
- At 100% or more, an automatic update reads On Track. In the check-in dialog, reaching 100% switches the status to Completed.
- Brev never marks a goal Completed on its own. You score it.
- A Stay above, Stay below or Stay between metric reads On Track while in bounds, and At Risk when out.
Set the status yourself #
- Open the goal and click Check in.
- Click the status pill and pick a status. Brev stops changing it while you edit the progress.
- Click Add check-in.
