You’ll primarily be working from the goals screen to add and update your KPIs and Priorities.

You can click on the goal name to open the detail screen if you need to work on Tasks, Attachments, or Comments for the goals, or you can quickly status, edit, or delete goals right from this screen.

How to Add Goals

From the Goal screen, click the + in the top right corner.

Give your Goal a Name. It’s a best practice for well-written goals to start with a verb, since these are usually things you are actively doing. For example, “Achieve XYZ certification” or “Visit 10 prospective customers per week.”
Need help writing a clear, actionable goal name? Click on the Rhythm Intelligence icon to generate suggestions. Clicking it again will generate even more possibilities to help you easily write a goal.
Give your Goal a Type. Usually numbers are KPIs and projects are Priorities. Check out this glossary to learn more.

Establish Red-Yellow-Green success criteria. You should work with your leader on this to get aligned on what success looks like on each of your goals:

- Green: what is the goal?

- Yellow: between Red and Green

- Red: what is failure?

- Super Green: what is extra credit on this goal?

Set Start and End Dates for the Goal. When will you start working on it, and when do you expect to finish it? We find that a quarter is a good time frame for most goals, but you can set these goals to anything you’d like.

Completed - You can check this box when you’ve accomplished the goal!

Private - If you’re working on some personal goals that should not be shared with your leader or team, you can check this box so nobody will see the goal but you.

Hit Save and you’re done!

If you’ve added a Goal by mistake, you can always delete it by clicking the icon in the list and choosing “Delete from System.” You can edit the Goal from here as well if you want to change something later.

How to Update Goal Status

Once your Goals are entered, it’s easy to update them from the Goal screen.

Click the “No Status” button on your first Goal and tap the color based on the success criteria you wrote for each goal. If you are on track for success, you’d status Green. If something has you stuck, you’d status Red.

Keep going down the list until you have updated all of your Job goals with a color. Then, click to your Growth & Project goals on the next tab and update those the same way!

If you’ve got Red or Yellow goals, those may need more work. Click on the name of the goal to pull up the detail screen. From here, you can make a Comment to let your manager know why you are stuck. You can also add Tasks with some specific steps to help get back on track.
