Progress

Progress is the calculated completion of Key Results toward targets, rolled up to Objectives — ideally from check-in data, not subjective percent-complete guesses.

Overview

Honest progress combines start/current/target math, weights, and freshness. Axiean computes Objective progress from weighted Key Results and shows staleness when check-ins stop.

Why it matters

Invisible progress means late surprises. Visible progress enables course-correction.

Examples

Weighted rollup

Three KRs weighted 50/30/20 form Objective progress.

Best practices

  • Compute from data, not vibes.
  • Show absolute values next to percentages.

Common mistakes

Mistake
Subjective % complete

Optimism bias.

Fix

Anchor to metric start/current/target.

Frequently asked questions

How is OKR progress calculated?

Typically (current − start) / (target − start) per Key Result, then weighted into the Objective.
