Advanced Fields
a) Objective Groups
An Objective Group represents a section under which Objectives are created. There are two types of Objectives Groups.
Team Objectives Group
Custom Objectives Group
"Objectives Group" is a special field that is beneficial to share an Objective with multiple Teams or Group objectives. Select the Group title from the list, and the Objective will appear in both areas.
b) Type
The type has two options
Committed
Uncommitted
The selection allows you to change an objective from committed to uncommitted.
c) Start and End Date
These dates are only visible in the details section. These are optional fields.
Linked Items
It is an import section, and you may link features and stories to the Objectives to track the progress automatically. It is better to link a Feature/Epic (Jira) as you can view the linked stories and the incremental progress of the Objectives completion once the teams complete the stories.
Objectives Completion Tracking
The Objectives completion is covered in this article.
