How do I update progress for objectives and key results (OKRs)?

To track the progress of objectives, you must periodically update the progress of the objective's key results. The objective's progress is then calculated as an average of the connected key results' progress.

A key result's start value and target value indicate the range of values in which you track the key result's progress. When you update progress for a key result, you base the current progress value on the range and scale established by the start and target values. Each progress value helps track the progress made over time.

You can modify and delete progress values after you enter them even if you have entered subsequent progress values.
