What’s New
🎯 Introducing Shortcut Objectives, a new way to organize product development work around company goals.
To help you reach your most important goals, we're introducing a seamless way for all teams using Shortcut to be more objectives-focused.
✅ Connect Planning with Execution
Ensure everyone in your organization is aligned with your company goals. Objectives let you define goals, connect them to Epics, and track ongoing progress. They help keep everyone focused and driving towards the right outcomes.
🚀 Drive Results by Keeping Objectives Top of Mind
Managing your goals in the same tool you use to manage your work prevents teams from forgetting the goals you initially set out for them, and ensures they're constantly aware of how their work ties back to each Objective.
🧠 Work Smarter with Real-time Visibility
Get a clear picture of all the Epics that are being worked on for each Objective and how much progress has been made towards each.
💡Two Types of Objectives: Tactical & Strategic
- Tactical Objectives allow you to group and track Epics only. (Use these for day-to-day execution)
- Strategic Objectives allow you to group both Key Results and Epics related to those Key Results. Use these for higher-level planning and OKRs. (Available only on Business & Enterprise plans)
- Note: Milestones are now called Tactical Objectives and can be found on the new Objectives page.
👉 Learn about what's changed
