Organize your Hierarchy

Set up your Workspace Hierarchy for goal and OKR tracking.

Use the flexibility of the ClickUp Hierarchy to organize and execute your goals and OKRs. Below are some Workspace Hierarchy best practices for goals and OKRs.

Use one of our goals and OKRs templates to get started quickly.

Organize Spaces

Create one Space for all of your goals and OKRs!

Organize Folders and Lists

We recommend creating Folders for company-wide, departmental, quarterly, or region-based goals and OKRs. Based on your business, a combination may be the ideal solution.

The Lists you create will depend on your Folder organization. For example, a region-based goals and OKRs Folder could contain a List for each region.

Organize tasks

You can create one task for each goal or OKR.

For OKRs, we recommend using tasks for the objective and subtasks for the key results.

Assign an individual or Team to the task, set a due date, and add as much detail as you want. Then customize your tasks using Custom Fields!

Use Custom Fields

Use Custom Fields for tracking goals and OKRs.

Create Custom Fields to add important context to your goals and Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). We recommend the following Custom Field types:

Progress (Auto)

The Progress (Auto) Custom Field is a progress bar that automatically tracks the completion of subtasks, checklists, and assigned comments.

Dropdown

Create a Dropdown Custom Field to categorize goals and OKRs.

You can also use Label Custom Fields for an additional layer of categorization.

Website

If there is a website associated with the goal or OKR, use the Website Custom Field to quickly access it.

Money

Track your team's budget and spend using Money Custom Fields.

Number

Create Number Custom Fields to track baseline, target, and actual numbers.

Formula

Use a Formula Custom Field to calculate your team's progress. For the example below, we used the following formula:

CONCATENATE(ROUND((field("Baseline")-field("Actual"))/(field("Baseline")-field("Target"))*100,0),' ','%')

Use Relationships

Create task Relationships to link different OKRs in your Workspace. For example, you can link your team's OKR tasks to larger company or department-level OKRs.

Use custom statuses

Create custom statuses to keep your OKRs on track! Below is an example of several OKR statuses you could use in your Workspace.
