Metrics

Record quantitative values over time, and optionally drive Key Result progress.

OverviewCopy Anchor Link

A metric is a time-series KPI. It has a name and a unit. It has no status — only values over time, plus the current value.

Recording a value can update Key Results linked to that metric. A metric can also stand alone.

If Metrics is missing from the sidebar, ask a workspace admin to enable it. The row is shown to managers.

Open Metrics at /metrics. The list is table-only. Press F to filter. Display options (Shift V) control columns, grouping, and ordering. Group by owner, team, or unit. Save the current filters with Add new view.

Using metricsCopy Anchor Link

Use a metric when the same series should feed more than one key result, or when you want a KPI without an OKR wrapper.

• Use a metric for the series you record
• Use a key result to give that series a target and an objective
• Use an objective for the team goal those results measure

Who can see metricsCopy Anchor Link

Managers see Metrics in the sidebar when the feature is on. Create requires metric create permission — if New Metric is missing, ask your team manager.

Owner and team on a metric are optional. Names must be unique within a team when a team is set.

Create a metricCopy Anchor Link

• Open Metrics and click New Metric
• Open the command menu with Cmd/Ctrl K and choose Create new metric…

The composer needs a name (2–200 characters) and a unit (required, up to 50 characters). Description is optional (up to 500 characters). You can set Owner, Team, and an initial value. Changing the unit later applies to linked Key Results.

Record valuesCopy Anchor Link

Open the metric.

• Click Record value to enter a number and an optional timestamp
• Click Import CSV to add many points for this metric. The file needs datetime and value columns (CSV up to 5MB)

A backdated point does not replace a newer current value.

Bulk CSV UploadCopy Anchor Link

From the Metrics list, click Bulk CSV Upload. The file needs metric_name, value, and datetime columns. Rows match existing metrics by name.

You can Download sample CSV from either upload dialog.

Connection to Key ResultsCopy Anchor Link

Link a metric from the key result composer or from the result's Metric property. The result then syncs baseline, current value, and unit from the metric. Recording a metric value recalculates linked Key Result progress, which then rolls up to the objective.

The metric detail lists linked Key Results. Unlinking leaves the metric in place.
