What does a Dashboard comprise of?

Types of widgets — purpose and creation

This widget comes handy when you want to briefly summarize the progress made since the last review cycle.

You can list objectives by filtering them based on the time period, entity, and status. This list will set the stage for your review meeting by displaying the objectives that you want to discuss about. For instance, to identify objectives that require attention, you can filter them based on the status to display OKRs that are at risk, and behind.

The Key Updates section on the left allows you to provide the narrative for the progress updates. These updates will ensure that every member across all the levels of the organization are on the same page in terms of the progress made by each entity.

In case of shared OKRs, you can view the OKR progress of the dependent teams, instead of switching back and forth between each entity’s OKRs.

From the list of available options, choose the objective list widget, and provide a name for this widget.

The next step is to start adding objectives to this widget. You can add objectives either automatically based on the rules you define, or manually by handpicking the objectives. Further, you can filter these objectives based on the time period, entity it belongs to, and the status.

In addition, you can add the Key Updates section, include the summary changes, and append the progress trend graph.

Save, and add the widget.

You can choose any particular objective to take the center stage, and dive deep into the progress of each key result.

You can quickly get to the root cause, and take necessary steps to bring the key result back on track.

Your OKRs could be connected to any third-party tool. More often than not, you find yourself switching back and forth to pull data from these tools during your OKR review meetings.

Say, you rely on data visualization tools or spreadsheets to track the progress of specific metrics. You can bring them all under a single roof, in the context of OKR progress. You can add anything that’s embeddable — an URL, image, or a HTML to populate data within the Review Dashboard.

This gives you greater control over customizing the dashboard to incorporate KPIs, trends, projects, and visualizations in a consolidated view that catalyzes laser-focused meetings.

From the list of available options, choose the custom embed widget, and provide a name for this widget.

Enter either the URL or HTML, and check for the preview.

The KPI widget will let you highlight the key metrics, and review the progress of these metrics over time.

There are two views of the KPI widget — tabular view, and the grid view. Grid view will provide you with the much-needed bird's-eye view on the numbers, and the progress update since the last review cycle. The table view, on the other hand, will let you analyze the daily progress made on the KPI. You can seamlessly switch between the views based on your requirement.

You can filter KPIs based on the time period, and entity. For better context, the associated objective will also be displayed in this widget for each KPI.

From the list of available options, choose the KPI widget, and provide a name for this widget.

The next step is to start adding KPIs to this widget. You can add KPIs either automatically based on the rules you define, or manually by handpicking them. Further, you can filter these key metrics based on the time period, and the entity it belongs to.

In addition, you can choose to display the objective that's linked with the KPI for better context.

A picture is worth a thousand words! The image widget can be used for embedding images, and GIFs in the context of your OKRs.

To enhance the presentation of your progress updates, you can leverage the image widget to insert images of any format, save yourself from the hassle of creating complicated tabular columns, or typing lengthy updates.

You can have control over the size and positioning of the chosen images in the dashboard.

From the list of available options, choose the image widget, and provide a name for this widget.

The next step is to add images — you can either drag and drop an image, or upload from your local computer.

Once you've previewed the image in the popover, determine the image size — stretch to fit the width, or the height.

Save, and add the widget.

Projects are initiatives teams and users execute to achieve key results. When you connect these projects to the overarching goals, employees see the big picture on how their work is driving progression toward company goals.

To ensure teams work on the right projects that drive results, it is important to bring focus on Projects into your business rhythms. When you periodically review Projects in the context of OKRs, you gain greater visibility into work that’s driving OKR progression.

Review Projects with the help of check-in notes, and the week-on-week progress and status.
