First step: define objectives
Popwork allows you to define and follow-up your team members’ objectives
The Objectives module is accessible by the manager and the team member from the shared workspace.
Managers can access the objectives of all their team member by clicking on the icon ⚙️ (left-hand side menu) > Team settings > Objectives update > Objectives.
To create an objective, click on Create Objective and define it in 3 steps:
Objective title: add a short title
Key results (optional): Define key results, the unit of measurement and the result to be achieved.
Description: list additional element
Date: indicate the due date of the objective
Then click on "Add objective" to save the objective.
Managers can add several objectives for each team member.
Step 2: track objectives
Once the objective has been created, Popwork will invite the team member to update the status of the objective at the frequency defined by the manager.
To do so, the manager sets the frequency with which objectives are updated for each member in Team settings > Objectives update > Frequency.
On the date the objectives update, the team member will be able to choose a status (objective achieved, on track, late or at risk) and add a comment.
The manager will find the objectives update in the answers to the "Objectives update" ritual in the shared workspace.
He can also consult an overview of the status of their team's objectives in the Analytics dashboard on the tab Objective tracking at any time.
Step 3: close objectives
When an objective reached its deadline, the team member is invited to close the objective, by ticking the "Close" box. The team member will be then asked to choose a closing status (objective achieved, partially achieved, not achieved, deprioritized) and share a feedback on the objective. The manager will then be invited to share his own feedback and confirm the final status.
The manager can also decide to close the objective of a team member from the Objectives module of his Popwork workspace. In that case, the team member will then be invited to share a feedback on the objective during the next objectives update.
Closed objectives are listed in the Objectives view > Archived tab of the shared workspace.
