This page is about OKR for Jira Cloud. Using Data Center? Click here.

The OKR Timeline view shows the progress of OKRs over time. Get a high-level overview of all OKRs across the organization, track progress over time, and identify areas needing adjustments. This can help admins make informed decisions about resource allocation and ensure that OKRs are aligned with overall organizational goals.

Users can see how their individual OKRs fit into the bigger picture and how their work contributes to the achievement of organizational goals, helping them stay motivated and engaged in their work.

Timeline

The Timeline shows you all of your OKRs, grouped by time period. It’s built upon the Expected start and Expected end dates for each OKR. This can help you to see how your OKRs are progressing over time and identify any areas where you need to make adjustments.

To populate the Timeline, you must select a period filter. On this view, you can:

  • Use the drag-and-drop functionality to quickly navigate to different time periods. Dragging and dropping the OKR cads changes their timeline.

  • Zoom in/out to adjust the level of detail you see by using the Timeline controls (+, -)

  • Click the Today button to navigate directly to the current day. 

  • The long vertical line on the Timeline shows the current day.

  • Each OKR is displayed on a separate card. Click the chevron on the card to reveal the sub-objectives and key results beneath it.

When you click on the card itself, you'll be taken to the objective or key result page, where you can see all the details, add updates, and more.

 

Filtering

Narrow down the OKRs displayed on the timeline by using the filters on the top of the page and selecting specific periods, teams, labels, or OKR types.

  • Filter OKRs by period: See only upcoming or ongoing OKRs based on chosen timeframes.

  • Add teams: View specific team goals or track individual team progress. You can display information from only one team or several.

  • Add labels: View OKRs that have a specific label by applying the relevant label(s).
