What is the use of Key Result Status Propagation?

Profit.co provides an option to enable/disable Objective/Key Result Status Propagation toggle to control the sub-key result propagation based on their statuses.

Why this Feature?

• Based on your requirements, we can decide whether the sub-key result progress to reflect/not in the Objective/Parent Key Result.
• The ability to determine sub-key result progress enhances goal alignment, enabling informed decisions to advance or discard them in the Objective/Parent Key Result.

Step 1

Go to Settings → OKRs → Authoring → Statuses.

Note: Only Super Users can modify OKR statuses.

In the Statuses page, Enable/disable the Objective/Parent Key Result Status Propagation toggle to control the Sub key result progress propagation.

Step 2

For instance, let’s consider a parent Key Result which has three Sub-key results.

Here the status of the Key Result is given below according to the color codes,

1st Sub Key Result → On Track

2nd Sub Key Result → At Risk

3rd Sub Key Result → in Trouble

The Parent Key Result progress color code is shown in yellow color. So it’s in the status of At-Risk.

Step 3

For instance, let’s disable the Objective/Parent Status Propagation toggle for the status On Track.

Let’s check-in the sub key results present in the parent key result.

The Parent Key Result progress color code is shown in red color. So it’s in the status of In Trouble.

This is because the first sub-key result which is in the Status of On Track has not been taken into account for progress.
