This approach ensures that objectives reflect aggregated performance across measurable outcomes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example: <\/strong>If an objective has Key Results with progress values of 20%, 60%, 40%, and 80%, the objective progress is 50%.<\/p>\n<h4>Objective Risk Status<\/h4>\n<p>Objective status compares actual progress with expected progress based on elapsed time. If actual progress is more than 10% below expected progress, the objective is flagged as <strong>at risk<\/strong>. This helps you to identify delays early and supports corrective action.<\/p>\n<h4>Time Elapsed Indicator<\/h4>\n<p>The <strong>Time Elapsed<\/strong> field shows how much of the defined objective duration has passed.
