Automatic progress tracking feature automatically calculates the progress of the key result based on the linked entities. In the Key Result creation form, when you select Item or Project or Sprint or Release in the Unit field, the key result's progress will be derived based on the completion of the selected entity.
For example, when you select Item in the Unit field, and link three items to the key result. As and when each item moves to completed or closed status, the derived percentage will be automatically updated. You can review this derived percentage and update it as the key result's progress percentage.
For the system to calculate the progress of the key result automatically:
Step 1: Link entities to the Key Result
Step 2: Add a weight to the entity selected for automatic progress tracking
Step 3: System automatically calculates the impact based on the weight of the entity
Step 4: Derived progress percentage is updated for the Key Result
Step 5: Review the derived progress percentage and update the progress percentage of the key result
Step 1: Link entities to Key Result
- Navigate to OKRs module.
- Select a key result.
- Switch to the Linked Entities tab.
- Click Add or Associate to link the selected entity for automatic progress tracking. abc
Step 2: Add a weight to the entity selected for automatic progress tracking
- Switch to the linked entities tab in the Key Result.
- For the entity selected for automatic progress tracking, you can find two additional columns; Weight and Impact.
- By default, each entity will be given number one as its weightage.
- Click the edit icon beside the weight field.
- Add a weight to the entities based on its contribution to achieving the key result.
- Click the update icon. abc
Step 3: System automatically calculates the impact based on the weight of the entity
When you add weight for the linked entity, the impact will be calculated automatically. The impact field will be a read-only field, while the weight field is an user editable field.
Impact will be calculated using the below formula:
Impact = (Weight of the entity / Sum of weights of all the linked records)*100
If the calculated impact value is a decimal, it shall be rounded to the nearest integer.
Step 4: Derived progress percentage is updated for the Key Result
When an entity that’s linked to a key result and selected for automatic progress tracking, is moved to Closed or Completed status, its impact percentage is updated based on the weight and impact you assigned to it.
As each linked entity’s impact percentage updates, the system automatically recalculates the derived progress percentage by summing the impact percentages of all linked entities. abc
Step 5: Update the progress percentage of the Key Result based on derived progress percentage
You can review this Derived Progress Percentage, and once you’ve verified it, you can apply it as the Progress Percentage of the key result by clicking the Update button next to the Derived Progress Percentage. abc
Bulk update the progress percentages of Key Results
When you have multiple Key Results that need an update in progress percentage based on the derived progress, you can update them all in one go using the bulk update option.
To bulk update the progress percentages of Key Results:
- Navigate to the OKR module.
- In the Board tab, select the key results whose progress percentages need to be updated.
- Click the Update Progress button. abc
Derived progress will be updated as progress percentage in the key result.
Note:
- Only KRs whose derived percentage isn't updated as progress percentage can be selected.
- When you click the Select all checkbox, only KRs whose derived percentage isn't updated as progress percentage will be selected.
