Overview

The Performance page is where you track and manage your team’s KPIs. Each KPI appears as a tile showing current progress toward its target, with a detailed history a click away. Well-designed KPIs translate your strategic goals into measurable outcomes — so you always know whether you’re moving in the right direction.

Create a KPI

1

Open your team's Performance page

Pick your team, then choose Performance in the sidebar.
2

Add a new KPI

Create a New KPI and fill out its details:
  • Name — clear and specific (e.g. “Compliance Issues Resolved”).
  • Icon — a quick visual cue for the metric.
  • Unit — what you’re measuring (issues, dollars, %, widgets…).
  • Target value — the goal you want to reach.
  • Starting value — where you are now.
  • Comment — any context worth recording.

Choose a target type

Pick how success is measured:
  • Higher is better — increase a number (sales, satisfaction).
  • Lower is better — decrease a number (costs, errors, response time).
  • Achieved or not — a binary outcome (e.g. “New office opened”).

Add a comment whenever you record a value to explain significant changes — your future self and your team will thank you.

​
Connect KPIs to the bigger picture

KPIs are most powerful when they clearly connect to your strategy:
  • Strategic goals → KPIs — each KPI measures progress toward a goal.
  • Initiatives → KPIs — roadmap initiatives drive KPI improvement.
  • Actions → KPIs — link day-to-day actions to the KPIs they impact for an OKR-style approach.
KPIs from your Performance page appear automatically on the Strategy page. Use Import to display a KPI from another team for cross-functional visibility.

Best practices

  • Keep it key — track a manageable number of truly important indicators.
  • Be specific — define each KPI so there’s no ambiguity about what’s measured.
  • Set realistic targets — ambitious but achievable in the timeframe.
  • Update on a cadence — a consistent rhythm keeps the picture accurate.
