Understanding Progress Calculation

How Objective Progress is Calculated

Objective progress is automatically calculated based on key result progress and weights:

1. Individual Key Result Progress: Each key result has its own completion percentage
2. Weight Application: Key results are weighted based on importance
3. Aggregation: Weighted average creates overall objective score
4. Real-Time Updates: Changes to key results immediately update objective progress

Progress Scenarios

Scenario 1: Equal Weight Key Results

• 3 key results, each weighted equally (33.3%)
• KR1: 80% complete, KR2: 60% complete, KR3: 90% complete
• Overall progress: (80% + 60% + 90%) / 3 = 76.7%

Scenario 2: Weighted Key Results

• KR1: 50% weight, 80% complete = 40% contribution
• KR2: 30% weight, 60% complete = 18% contribution
• KR3: 20% weight, 90% complete = 18% contribution
• Overall progress: 40% + 18% + 18% = 76%
