Is a Planoda goal a real OKR or just a tag on a task?

A real OKR. You write a qualitative objective — 'become the fastest tool in the category' — then attach measurable key results that prove it, like p95 latency under 100ms or activation from 38% to 60%. Each key result carries a metric kind (number, percent, currency, or done/not-done), a start→target band, and a current value your team updates as the quarter unfolds.

How is goal progress calculated?

Honestly, from the numbers. Each key result's percent-complete is (current − start) / (target − start), clamped, so it can never look further along than the data says. The objective's progress is the live average of its key results, recomputed the instant any metric changes — never a stale number someone forgot to refresh.

Do I need a separate OKR tool?

No. Goals live next to the work that achieves them — no add-on, no separate OKR tool, no export. They're included on the Pro plan and share the one schema with issues, cycles, and projects, so a key result and the issues that move it are always one click apart.

Real OKRs, not labels on tasks. Set time-boxed objectives, attach measurable key results, and watch progress roll up by itself — governed, tenant-isolated, and right next to the work that achieves them.

In short

Goals in Planoda are real OKRs: a qualitative objective plus measurable key results (number, percent, currency, or done/not-done) with a start→target band and a current value.
Objective progress is the live average of its key-result percents, recomputed in the same transaction on every metric change — never a stale, hand-updated number.
Goals ladder into initiatives and nest as company → team → personal objectives, and each goal has an append-only check-in river snapshotting health, status, and progress.
Goals are governed by the same propose-and-approve agent layer, row-level security, and audit trail as the rest of Planoda — included on the Pro plan, no separate OKR tool.

Objectives, measured.

Objectives with measurable key results

A goal in Planoda is a real OKR, not a label on a task. Write the qualitative objective — "become the fastest tool in the category," "make onboarding effortless" — then attach the measurable key results that prove it: p95 API latency under 100ms, activation rate from 38% to 60%, NPS from 41 to 55. Each key result carries a metric kind (number, percent, currency, or done/not-done), a start→target band, and a current value your team updates as the quarter unfolds. Percent-complete is computed honestly — `(current − start) / (target − start)`, clamped — so a key result can never look further along than its numbers say.

Progress that rolls up by itself

The objective's progress is the live average of its key results, recomputed the instant any metric changes — never a stale number someone forgot to refresh. Goals ladder into the rest of the planning tree: roll a goal up into a strategic initiative, or nest goals as company → team → personal objectives, and the whole hierarchy answers "are we on track" without a status meeting. Because goals share the one schema with issues, cycles, and projects, the work that moves a key result is one click away from the metric it moves.

Check-ins, not status theater

Every goal has an append-only check-in river. Post an update, optionally move the goal's confidence (on track · at risk · off track) and lifecycle status, and Planoda snapshots the health, status, and roll-up progress at that moment. The detail timeline reads as an honest confidence history — "on track through week 3, slipped to at-risk Friday, here's why" — so leadership reviews happen against the real trend line, not a hastily-assembled slide.

Governed, tenant-isolated, and AI-ready

Goals are first-class in the same platform your agents already operate under propose-and-approve governance — so an agent can draft a quarter's objectives or summarize a check-in, and a human approves. Every goal, key result, and check-in is workspace-scoped with row-level security and the same immutable audit trail as the rest of Planoda. No add-on, no separate OKR tool, no export: the goals live next to the work that achieves them.
