Track what matters: a number, a yes/no, or a task checklist. Each goal picks its own format.
How It Works
How do nested milestones with auto roll-up work?
Create Your Goal
Set a title, choose a measure type (number, yes/no, or tasks), and assign it to a team or individual.
Break It Down
Add nested sub goals and milestones. Stack them as deep as the work demands.
Track Automatically
Progress rolls up from every milestone to the top-level goal. See momentum at a glance.
Measure Types
Track Goals the Way They Actually Work
Not every goal is a number. Pulsewise supports three formats so you track what the goal actually needs.
Number
Set a numeric target and log progress over time. The bar fills as you go.
68% completeYes / No
For goals that are done or not. A single toggle marks completion.
Task Checklist
Break a goal into tasks. Each completed task moves overall progress forward.

AI That Helps You Actually Meet Your Goals
Goal setting is just the start. Pulsewise is building AI-first goal planning so the system helps you think through what it will take, then tracks whether you're on course.
AI Goal Planning

Teams That Ship With Pulsewise
Tracking progress across our sustainability categories used to be guesswork. Pulsewise goals roll up automatically, so we always know where each initiative stands without chasing updates.
Our educators set individual teaching goals each semester. Pulsewise made it simple to break those into milestones and track completion. The visibility alone improved accountability across the team.
We juggle goals across multiple client projects. Pulsewise lets us nest milestones under each engagement so nothing falls through the cracks. Our delivery timelines have improved noticeably.

FAQ
Common Questions About Goals
Can goals nest to any depth?
Yes. Pulsewise supports infinitely nested goal trees. You can create company goals, break them into team goals, then individual milestones. Progress rolls up automatically at every level.
How does roll-up progress work?
When a child milestone is marked complete or updated, the parent goal's progress recalculates automatically. This cascading roll-up means you always see accurate, real-time progress from the individual level up to the company level without manual updates.
Can we set OKRs in Pulsewise?
Pulsewise's goal system is flexible enough to support OKRs, KPIs, or any goal framework your team uses. Create a Key Result as a child goal with measurable milestones, and progress rolls up to the parent Objective automatically.
How do goals connect to performance reviews?
Goal completion data flows directly into performance review cycles. When a manager opens a review, they see each person's goal progress, completion rates, and momentum trends. This eliminates guesswork and grounds reviews in real achievement data.
Can different teams use different goal structures?
Yes. Each team can structure their goals independently. Engineering might use sprint-based milestones while Sales uses quarterly targets. The roll-up system adapts to any hierarchy.
