Performance Tracking
Learn about Performance Tracking in WaymakerOS.
Track how your organisation performs against its goals. Performance tracking connects objectives, key results, and task completion into a unified view.
The performance view
Performance tracking in Commander brings together data from multiple sources:
- Goals — objective progress and key result completion rates
- Tasks — task completion velocity across taskboards
- Dashboards — custom metrics from your data
How it works
Goal-level performance
Each goal's performance is automatically calculated from its key results. If an objective has three key results:
- KR1: 80% complete
- KR2: 60% complete
- KR3: 100% complete
The objective is 80% complete (average of key results).
Status indicators
| Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green | On track — progress matches or exceeds the timeline |
| Amber | At risk — behind expected progress but recoverable |
| Red | Behind — significantly below where it should be |
Team performance
View performance aggregated by team:
- How many goals each team owns
- Average progress across all team goals
- Task completion rates for team members
- Trending up or down vs previous period
Individual performance
View performance for individual team members:
- Goals they own or contribute to
- Tasks assigned and completed
- Activity level and engagement
Using performance data
Weekly reviews
Use the performance view in weekly team standups to:
- Identify goals that are falling behind
- Celebrate goals that are ahead of schedule
- Reallocate resources to at-risk objectives
Quarterly planning
At the end of each quarter, use performance data to:
- Assess which objectives were achieved
- Understand why some goals fell short
- Set informed targets for the next quarter
- Adjust team structures if needed
One-on-ones
Managers can use individual performance data in one-on-one meetings to:
- Review goal progress together
- Identify blockers and provide support
- Set personal development objectives
- Celebrate achievements
Connecting the dots
Performance tracking is most powerful when your daily work connects to strategic goals:
- Set objectives in Goals (strategic direction)
- Break into key results (measurable outcomes)
- Create tasks on Taskboards (daily work)
- Track progress in Performance (the feedback loop)
When a task is completed that contributes to a key result, and that key result contributes to an objective — everyone can see how their work matters.
