Features, Benefits, Strengths
- Project Planning and Monitoring – Goals enables users to plan and execute projects by creating a Target, with the option of using Sprints to facilitate agile project management. A Target is a set of activities to be completed in order to achieve a specific outcome. When a Target is defined, they can break it down into goals and use a Mind Map. The online Mind Maps can easily be shown to teams and other stakeholders to make sure everyone understands the initiative and the objective. It includes colored displays and sub-goals creation. A Roadmap view is also available.
- Task Management and Workflow – The platform features a task management feature linked to your defined Goals and managed using a Kanban system. For every goal, you have 4 sections in your task management area. The Backlog contains the list of tasks to be done. The Active section are tasks that are assigned and currently in progress. The Completed section contains all completed tasks, and the Archived contains tasks that have been archived. If the Sprints option was enabled when that Target was created, a Sprints section also appears and contains tasks included for the current sprint. Tasks are always linked to a specific Goal, can be assigned to multiple users, have a priority, duration and task description.
- Team Collaboration, User Management, Reports, and more – Goals is a collaborative app that enables a user to invite other people into a team. Team members can then be assigned to work on a specific task to complete a goal. A team member will also have a specific role with corresponding permissions. A Custom Role feature is currently being worked on. This will allow users to create personalized roles for individual team members with customized permissions. Other features include email notifications that include weekly reports, overdue task reports, and others. It also allows login through Google or Facebook credentials, filters for easier navigation, and a product onboarding guide. More reporting features are coming soon.
