How to display completed task percentage in Task Tracked Key Result?

In Profit.co, you can create a Task Tracked Key Result using the Completed Task % tracking type to automatically measure Key Result progress based on the percentage of associated tasks that have been marked as completed.

What is a Task Tracked Key Result in Profit.co?

A Task Tracked Key Result in Profit.co is a non-measurable Key Result type that automatically tracks progress based on the status of tasks associated with it. Instead of manually checking in with a numeric value, the Key Result progress updates automatically as tasks linked to it move to the Completed status. This creates a direct connection between day-to-day task execution and OKR progress reporting.

How to create a Task Tracked Key Result with Completed Task % in Profit.co?

Follow these steps to create a Task Tracked Key Result using the Completed Task % tracking type:

Step 1

• Navigate to your OKR and click to create a new Key Result.
• In the Key Result creation form, select Task Tracked as the Key Result type.
• Set the Tracking Type to Completed Tasks %.

Note: You can also associate an existing Workspace or Board to track the Key Result progress using tasks that are already created.

Step 2

• Review all the details and click Create to save the Task Tracked Key Result.
• The Key Result will now automatically track and update its progress based on task completion within the associated Workspace or Board.

How to view task progress under a Task Tracked Key Result in Profit.co?

Step 1

Once the Task Tracked Key Result is created, you can view the associated tasks and their contribution to the Key Result progress at any time.

• Click on the Task Tracked Key Result from your OKR view to open its detail panel.
• Within the Key Result detail panel, click on the Task tab.
• The Task tab displays all tasks associated with the Key Result along with their current statuses.
• The overall progress percentage is automatically calculated and updated based on how many tasks have been moved to the Completed status.

The progress is calculated as:

Completed Tasks % = [100% / Total number of Tasks Present] × Number of Tasks Completed

Step 2

For instance, in your Workspace/Board if you have 12 tasks and you have moved 3 tasks to Completed status, the progress will be 25%.

Best practices for using Task Tracked Key Results in Profit.co

• Use the Completed Task % tracking type for Key Results where the definition of success is clearly tied to completing a defined set of tasks, such as feature releases, compliance checklists, or project milestones.
• Keep the associated Workspace or Board focused and relevant; include only the tasks that directly contribute to the Key Result to ensure the progress percentage is meaningful.
• Encourage team members to update task statuses promptly so the Key Result progress reflects the real state of work at all times.
• Review the Task tab of the Key Result regularly during check-in cycles to identify any tasks that are blocked or overdue and may be impacting progress.
• Combine Task Tracked Key Results with other Key Result types when a single Objective has both task-based and measurable numeric outcomes to track.
