Review graphs to understand goal progress trends in Adobe Workfront Goals

Last update: Thu Aug 29 2024 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

CREATED FOR:

  • User

You can view the overall health of your goals and their progress trend in time in the Graphs section of Adobe Workfront Goals. The charts in this section do not break down the progress of each goal, but instead give you a holistic snapshot of all goals’ progress status as well as their progress trend in time during a specified period.

IMPORTANT
You can see a total count for your goals in the Graphs section for a selected period of time. However, Workfront Goals takes into account only goals with a status of Active and Closed when calculating the overall goal progress status and percent complete.

Types of graphs in Workfront Goals

The following charts are available in the Graphs section or Workfront Goals:

The Goal Health Chart

A gauge chart that displays the following:

  • A total number of goals for the selected period of time. Goals with any status are taken into account.
  • The progress status of goals with a status of Active and Closed.

For information about how Workfront Goals calculates progress status, see Overview of goal progress and condition in Adobe Workfront Goals.

The Goal Progress Chart

A line chart that displays updates made to goals in weekly increments during the goal's duration. The goal progress chart displays the following:

  • An average expected and actual percent complete of all active and closed goals in the selected period. The percent complete progress is broken down into weekly increments marked by nodes.
  • The overall average percentage of progress for active and closed goals since the previous week.

Tip: The goal progress chart might not display any information when updates are made on the goals outside of the time period selected.

  4. Review the information in the table below when you review the Goal Health Chart.

    table 0-row-2 1-row-2 2-row-2
    Total number of goals The number at the bottom of the chart indicates the number of all goals in the selected period, in all statuses you selected.
    Average percent complete At the top of the chart, this number indicates the average percent complete of active and closed goals in the selected time period.
    Goals and their progress The number of goals for each progress status segment, when you hover over the segments of the chart. Only goals in a status of Active or Closed are counted in the segments.

  5. Review the information in the table below when you review the Goal Progress Chart.

    table 0-row-2 1-row-2 layout-auto html-authored no-header
    Baseline progress The green slope line indicates the expected overall percent complete average of active and closed goals for the selected time period. All goals within a period are expected to complete, so the baseline progress is always 100% at the end of the period.
    Actual progress The blue line indicates the actual overall percent complete average of active and closed goals for the selected time period in weekly increments. Each week during the duration of the goal is marked by a node in the line.

  6. Hover a week node in the goal progress chart and review the following:

    • Week date: The month, day, and year of the selected week.
    • Progress: An average of the actual percent complete of all goals for the selected week.
    • Baseline: An average of the expected percent complete of all goals for the selected week.

  7. (Optional) Click Progress at the bottom of the progress chart to remove the actual overall progress line

    Or

    Click Baseline at the bottom of the progress chart to remove the expected progress from the chart.
