Goals leverages many of Workfront setup and configuration entities such as users, teams, groups, et cetera. Primary objects utilized within Workfront Goals. Goal. A goal is the overall outcome you wish to achieve. You can create multiple goals for a defined period of time. Each goal will have an owner, typically an individual or team, although groups can also be used. Result. A result is an indicator of success of the goal. Each goal can have one or more results, and these will be how you measure successful achievement of the goal. Measurable results are also important in connecting work to strategies so that teams more clearly understand how work achievements affect the business. Activity. An activity is a primary action that needs to take place to gain a result. Add one or more activities to a goal in order to indicate what work has been planned to achieve that goal.
