How do I create a task tracked key result in Profit.co?

Profit.co allows you to create a key result based on the progress of task completion. You can also include your Workspace/Boards to track the key results.

Why this feature?

• The task-tracked key result provides a clear overview of task progress, ensuring alignment with the overall key result objectives.
• This feature allows real-time tracking of task completion, enabling better decision-making and timely adjustments to stay on target.

Step 1

Click on the Task Tracked key result type while creating a key result.

Step 2

You will have the option to select the existing boards from the levels dropdown.

Note: You can also create a new workspace/board from here, and later you can add tasks to it.

You will also have the option to track the key result based on a percentage as well as by number in the tracking type as shown in the below image.

Step 3

The key result will be progressed whenever a task is completed.

Step 4

You can set a specific progress percentage for each task status in settings. The progress percentage will automatically update based on the statuses of the tasks.

For example, if I set 30% for the "Scheduled" status and a task is marked as "Scheduled," the KR check-in will automatically update to 30%.

Note: If you add more tasks, the system will calculate the average of all task percentages and display it as the KR check-in percentage.

Step 5

When a task-tracked Key Result (KR) is deleted, a pop-up will appear with the following options:

Simple Delete: deletes the Key Result alone.

Delete with Task: Deletes the Key Result but keeps the associated tasks on the task boards.
