Track priorities across modules

Track the progress of priorities

Tasks and goals

You can track the progress of prioritized tasks (Jira work items) and goals (OKRs) by switching to the predefined Priorities column view in the Gantt and Scope modules or by adding the Priority score column to the module view.

Recommended use of the Priority score column in the Gantt module:

  • Use the Priority score column during planning to focus on high-impact tasks and goals and ensure your efforts are aligned with key priorities.

  • In status sync meetings, use the Priority score column to stay informed about potential blockers in high-priority initiatives and swiftly adjust delivery plans throughout the year.

Boxes

You can track prioritized boxes by adding the Priority score column to the Overview module.
