5 Advanced Rhythm v5 Features to Save Power Users Time

Goal Dashboards. These power tools can do it all. Before, custom dashboards were just for KPIs and they were just for Teams. Now, you can add any goal type you want to a dashboard (KPIs, Quarter Priorities, Annual Priorities, Winning Moves), and you can build them for an individual user OR for a team. Dashboards also now have a Start and End Date so you don't have to waste time copying them from one quarter to the next. The possibilities for managing projects, keeping cross functional work on track, or just keeping up with work that's most important to you are endless.

Bulk Edit Projected, Actual, Variance. When it's time for a new quarter, the best goal-setters take the time to map out Projected values for each week of the quarter on their KPIs. Going week by week or even just putting in a number at the end of each month really helps you know if you are on track for success or not as you move through the quarter, giving you an even better leading indicator when you are off on your projections. Before, this process was a bit of a pain involving arrowing through multiple weeks to add the Projected values one at a time. Not anymore! In v5, you can open a goal details, hit the edit pencil and tab through all 13 weeks of the quarter to add your projections.

Prioritization Tool. Ever wonder which of your team's Quarter Priorities deserves that coveted #1 ranking in the list, or which of the potential priorities should earn a spot in the top 5 and which should wait until next quarter? Sometimes the top goal is obvious, but sometimes, you might wish you had some subjective criteria for deciding what to prioritize as a team. We've given you the ability to rank Annual and Quarter Priorities on Impact and Ability to Execute and plot them on a quadrant chart, a feature set that was just for Winning Moves in previous versions of Rhythm.

Convert ideas to goals. Power users who love the Ideas Board in a meeting used to spend time copying and pasting the best ideas into Goals, or pasting them into the Parking Lot for later. You can rest those copy/paste keyboard shortcuts for now! You can easily convert ideas from the ideas board into KPIs, Annual Priorities, Quarter Priorities or Winning Moves, add them to the Strategy SWOT screen, or log them to the Parking Lot for later. And, when you do come back to those ideas in the Parking Lot, don't worry! You can easily convert topics from there to goals as well, no copy/paste required.

Easier account administration. We pride ourselves on having a great support team, but you don't always want to submit a ticket and wait for someone else to make a simple change like inviting a new team member. The new and improved admin screens in v5 are easier to use than ever. Power users can manage their own teams and users, restore deleted goals, and customize text templates without having to wait on our friendly support team to help.
