Tasks: 4 Progress Types

Tracking progress isn’t one-size-fits-all—different kinds of tasks need different ways of measuring success. That’s why OKR Focus Tasks offers four distinct Progress Types, giving you the flexibility to track what matters, how it matters.

Here’s why this is such a powerful feature:

Best for: Workflow-oriented tasks
Why it matters: Some tasks move through a process rather than being a simple checkbox. With three clear states—Backlog, In Progress, and Completed—you can visualize where each task stands in your workflow at a glance. It’s ideal for teams managing task pipelines or agile-style progress.

Best for: Gradual, stage-based progress
Why it matters: Perfect for tasks that evolve over time or in phases. Percentage progress gives you a smooth, intuitive way to show how far along something is—even before it’s fully done.

Best for: Quantitative goals
Why it matters: Whether you’re aiming for 10 client demos, $50K in revenue, or 100 users onboarded, the Value type lets you track numeric targets with clarity. You define the goal, and OKR Focus shows exactly how close you are to hitting it.

Best for: Tasks with multiple parts or steps
Why it matters: Some tasks are multi-step processes. With a built-in checklist, you can break the task into smaller, actionable items—tracking what’s been done and what’s still ahead. Great for collaboration or recurring workflows.

• Tailored tracking: Use the method that fits the task, not the other way around.
• Clarity at every level: Everyone knows what progress looks like, from interns to execs.
• Better execution: No more guessing if a task is “in motion”—you’ll know exactly where it stands.
• Smarter reporting: Make updates and dashboards more meaningful and actionable.
