Goals wired to daily work

Goals tied to daily work are goals that get hit.

In Taskie, goals and OKRs (objectives and key results) aren’t separate from execution. Every goal has a cycle, an owner and targets (key results), and its progress stays current from the status of the very tasks and projects behind it.

Problem and solution

A goal read only at the start of the quarter isn’t a goal.

01 The problem

Most teams write their goals in a slide deck and then get on with execution. Progress is updated by hand by whoever runs out of time, so the report is always weeks behind.

  • Each goal’s owner and success measure are forgotten after the first meeting.
  • People report progress from memory, not from task data.
  • Nobody sees which tasks actually move the goal forward.

02 Taskie's answer

Goals live where the work lives

Give every goal a cycle, an owner and weighted targets, and link each target to a number, a task or a project. As the tasks move, the goal’s progress updates itself.

  • OKR cycles for a quarter, a month or whatever cadence your team runs on.
  • Weighted targets: numeric, yes/no, task or project.
  • The linked goal shows on every task page, so everyone knows what they’re working toward.

Workflow

Write the goal; the tasks report the progress

From intake to delivery, every step has an owner and a clear output.
  1. Define a cycle

    Create your team’s goal-setting period — a quarter, a month or any custom span — as an OKR cycle.

  2. Add the goal and owner

    Add the goal with an owner, a due date and related projects so it never goes unowned.

  3. Link the targets

    Link each target to a number, a task or a project, and give it a weight.

  4. Review progress

    Progress updates from task status, so the review meeting starts with real data, not guesses.

Outcome

Goals & OKRs in practice: what actually changes?

Goals, targets and daily work in one clear chain.

Daily work gets meaning

Every member sees on the task page which team goal the task feeds and how much it counts.

Progress reports with no manual work

Targets linked to tasks and projects update as statuses change; nobody gathers numbers at the end of the week.

Weighted results

The more important target gets more weight, so a goal’s progress reflects reality, not a raw average.

Public or private goals

Make each goal public or private and keep owner, editor and viewer roles separate.

Target types
4
Numeric, yes/no, task and project — each target is measured by what it really is.
Updates
From the work
A target linked to a task or project updates itself as execution moves.
Cycles
Quarterly or custom
Review goals in time-boxed cycles and compare quarter over quarter.

Use cases

Put Goals to work in these situations

Quarterly product OKRs

Measure growth or quality goals with numeric targets and spot drift mid-quarter, not at the end.

Operations team goals

Tie goals like faster response times or closing requests to that team’s actual tasks.

Aligning several projects

When several projects feed one goal, their progress comes together on one page.

FAQ

Questions about Goals

How are goals in Taskie different from an OKR file?

An OKR file is forgotten after the first meeting; in Taskie goals are linked to tasks and projects, and their progress stays current with execution. Quarterly reviews run on real data, not people’s memories.

Do I have to update goal progress myself?

Targets linked to tasks or projects update themselves from execution status. Numeric targets such as revenue or satisfaction you enter by hand whenever you have a new number.

Do we need the whole company on board to start OKRs?

No. Start with one team and one cycle. Once the first quarterly review pays off, other teams add their own goals in the same workspace.
