Goals

Goals are the only durable object in Meetmora. Everything else — agenda items, notes — belongs to the meeting it was written in. If something should still matter in a month, make it a goal.

You can add one from three places:

  • the person’s page on Team
  • the Open goals card in meeting mode, without leaving the 1:1
  • the wrap-up, while you’re reviewing what moved

A goal takes:

FieldRequiredNotes
TitleYese.g. Get promoted to Staff Engineer
NotesNoWhat does good look like?
Target dateNoEnables the pace-based health signals
StepsAt least oneThe concrete pieces

A goal needs at least one step, and that’s on purpose. Steps are how progress gets measured — completion percentage is simply steps done ÷ steps total. A goal with no steps is a wish.

Health is worked out fresh every time it’s shown; you never set it by hand. The first matching state wins:

HealthWhen
OverdueIt has a target date and that date has passed
At riskIt has a target date and it’s behind pace — more of the timeline has burned than work is done, by a wide margin
StalledIt has steps, it’s more than three weeks old, and nothing has moved in three weeks
On trackEverything else

A brand-new goal never flags. “At risk” only kicks in after the first quarter of its timeline has passed, so you’re not chased on day two.

Goals that need attention surface on Today, and Meetmora notifies you when one goes overdue or stalls.

Goals close in three different ways, because “done” isn’t the only ending:

  • Completed — finished successfully
  • Cancelled — called off deliberately; priorities changed
  • Abandoned — quietly dropped, fizzled out

Only active goals are open. Recording why something ended is worth the extra click — a report with three abandoned goals is telling you something a report with three completed ones isn’t.

  • Today — goals needing attention, across everyone
  • Goals — every goal on your team in one list
  • The person’s page — their goals, active and closed
  • Meeting mode — their open goals in the rail, editable mid-conversation
  • The wrap-up — what moved during that 1:1

Mora also reads open goals when suggesting agenda items and when writing your briefings, so a well-kept goal makes everything else sharper.
