# Goals for each person

Source: https://help.jenzo.ai/articles/goals

Goals live under **People > Goals**. An admin sets them, each person owns their own.

## Set a goal

A goal belongs to one person and covers a month, or a fixed period of 7 to 120 days. It can be:

- **A total**: reach a number by the deadline, for example 20 published articles.
- **Growth**: beat last month by a percentage.

The number can be filled in from Jenzo's own data, or reported by the person with the **Current number** field.

### Tiers

Add tiers to show what good and great look like. The first tier is the **Bare minimum**, the next ones are **Tier 1**, **Tier 2** and so on, up to 8 tiers in total. If you attach a bonus to a tier, the highest tier reached at the deadline is paid after an admin confirms it.

## Post an update every 3 days

A goal needs a short update at least every 3 days, or it turns red and the owner gets a nudge. On the goal, press **Post update** and fill in what applies: what you did, obstacles, what you tried, what works, skills you lack, what worked, what did not, and anything else. Jenzo may ask one or two follow-up questions; answer them with **Send answer**.

## Statuses

**On track**, **Behind**, **At risk**, **Hit**, **Missed**, **Upcoming** and **No data yet**. A goal that was hit shows *Hit: waiting for your manager to confirm* until an admin confirms it.

## Tips

- One goal per person per month is usually enough. More goals means more updates and less focus.
- Use numbers Jenzo can see, such as tickets closed, so nobody has to type them.
