Targets
Targets represent larger goals or milestones that multiple tasks contribute to. While tasks are the atomic units of work, targets are the outcomes you're working toward — think "Launch v2.0" or "Complete compliance audit" rather than individual to-dos.
When to use targets vs. tasks: If something can be done by one person in a few hours or days, it's a task. If it requires multiple tasks across potentially multiple people and has a broader deadline, it's a target. Link tasks to targets to see how the small pieces add up to the big picture.
View targets
The targets page shows a grid of target cards. Each card displays:
- Target name and status badge.
- Description preview.
- Labels (up to 3 shown).
- Lead and member avatars.
- Task progress bar (completed / total linked tasks).
- Timeline bar with start and target dates.
You can filter by status or search text, and sort by name, created date, start date, target date, or custom order.
Target statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Backlog | Not yet started — parked for future consideration. |
| Planned | Scheduled but not yet in progress. |
| In Progress | Actively being worked on. |
| Paused | Temporarily on hold. |
| Completed | Finished. |
| Cancelled | No longer being pursued. |
Progress tracking
Target progress is calculated automatically based on linked tasks:
- The progress bar shows completed tasks / total linked tasks (e.g. 7/10).
- The bar colour changes based on proximity to the target date:
- Green — On track.
- Yellow — Approaching the target date with significant work remaining.
- Red — Past the target date (overdue).
There is no weighting — each linked task counts equally toward progress.
Gantt view
Targets and their linked tasks are visualised together in the Gantt chart under the Tasks section. Targets appear as grouping headers with their tasks nested below. This is the best way to see how tasks within a target relate to each other over time.
See Tasks — Gantt chart for full details on the Gantt view, including dependencies, drag-to-reschedule, and holiday overlays.
