- Set start and end dates.

How goal progress is calculated
Commandix calculates live goal progress from associated work. If a goal has contributing projects, project task completion drives progress. If assignments exist, weighted task completion by assigned unit or user is used. If neither project nor assignment structure applies, direct task completion provides the fallback progress.
Best practice goal structure
- Use 3 to 7 active company goals so leadership attention stays focused.
- Use assignments when departments share responsibility for one goal.
- Link projects when work requires coordinated delivery across many tasks.
- Use direct tasks when the goal is simple or individually owned.
