Category: OKRs

Profit.co has 4 progress calculation methods and 3 value types for the control KPI key result type.

Why this feature?

This progress calculation method ensures all check-ins are considered, regardless of success. Progress occurs based on proximity to the target value, providing a comprehensive assessment and encouraging continuous improvement.

VALUE TYPE

MAIN FUNCTION

At Least

The progress won’t update only if the check-in value is below the lower limit.

At Most

The progress won’t update only if the check-in value is beyond the upper limit.

Scenario 1:

The progress Calculation formula is,
