Why Use Rhythm

Rhythm helps leaders have visibility into how the strategy for the company is being executed, and it helps everyone else stay focused on the most important work to move the company forward. Our framework includes a cadence of meetings and planning to support growth and be the leader in your industry or maintain a competitive advantage. 

How to Navigate Rhythm

1. Log in with your username and password
2. The main navigation is on the left menu. You can choose to work on Strategy or Execution. The menu item you are working on is highlighted to show where you are in the tool.
3. The context for each screen is across the top, and this will change depending on which screen you are viewing, showing only what applies for that screen.
   
   You can use the arrows to look at prior or future years or quarters. If you switch from the current quarter, the context will turn red and you can click the reset button to reset it.
   
   You can also toggle between User and Team to filter the items on the screen for an individual user or to show all the items for a whole team. Again, if you switch from your default user or team, the context will turn red and you can click the reset button to reset it.
   
   You can choose to show or hide items that are private.
