Overview 

WorkBoard makes it easy to create an Individual Goal that is separate from your Team's OKRs. 

Use Individual Goals in Workboard when:

• You have individual goals you’re tracking elsewhere that you want to move to WorkBoard
• You want to track your career growth with measurable outcomes
• You own non-Team OKRs at your workplace

Create an Individual Goal

1. Click Create from the upper right-hand side of the page.

2. Click Objectives.

3. Select Individual Goal.
   

4. Add your goal name (statement of intent for the given time period)
5. Hit Enter on your keyboard
   
   
6. Ensure that all of the Objective fields are filled out correctly for your Objective
   Note: You can always come back and edit them later if necessary.
