Cascading Goals Now Support Custom Weighting

You can now assign percentage weights to supporting goals in a cascading goal, so primary goal progress reflects the relative importance of each contributing goal rather than a flat average. Weighted progress gives leaders a more accurate picture of execution against strategy.

What's new

  • Manual weighting: Assign custom percentage weights to each supporting goal, so higher-priority initiatives have a proportionally greater impact on primary goal progress.
  • Two distribution modes: Goals default to equal distribution, where all supporting goals contribute equally, and weights auto-rebalance when goals are added or removed. Switch to manual weighting when you need more control.
  • Reset in one click: Switch back to equal distribution at any time if needed.
  • Flexible access: Account Admins and users with Goals Full Permissions can enable weighted supporting goals in Settings > Goals > Goal Configuration. Once enabled, goal owners can adjust weights on their own goals.
