      Why the Strategy Connector Matters

      Linking Goals is a powerful way to connect your plan to your team and your company strategy. The Strategy Connector provides a simple way to show the relationships between Quarter Priorities, Annual Priorities, KPIs, and Winning Moves.

      Knowing how your goals connect to the bigger picture and impact other teams and the whole company's success helps you see how much your work matters.

      Using the Strategy Connector Side Panel

      1. In a goal list screen, select the Parent icon
      2. If your goal is not linked up to anything, you can link it to an existing goal or create a new Parent goal from here.
      3. Click on the Strategy Connector icon to explore the goals your goal supports.
      4. You'll see the highest-level goals your goal supports in the dropdown menu. Depending on which parent goal you select, you'll see all the linked goals between your goal and the high-level goal:

      5. If there are different paths to the same goal (ie: you've linked the goal to multiple goals that lead back to the same parent at the highest level), you'll see a number to indicate the multiple paths (ie: WM1, WM2, etc).
      6. You can click to navigate to the other goals linked in the Strategy Connector as long as you can access them.

      Note: If your goal is linked up a to goal that you need permission to access, you will only see the goal type and no other information about the goal. Ex:

      3. Hover over a goal to see the success criteria and latest status for the goals in the map.
