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

Click Objectives.
Select Individual Goal.
Add your goal name (statement of intent for the given time period)
Hit Enter on your keyboard
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.
OKR Owner
