Goals

Goals are the one thing Mora tracks from one 1:1 to the next. Agenda items and notes belong to the meeting they were written in. If something should still matter in a month, make it a goal.

Add a goal

You can add a goal from four places:

• the Goals tab on a person’s page
• the Goals page, for anyone on your team
• the Open goals section in meeting mode, without leaving the 1:1
• the wrap-up, while you’re reviewing what moved

A goal has these fields:

Field	Required	Notes
Title	Yes	For example, Get promoted to Staff Engineer
Notes	No	What does success look like?
Target date	No	Enables the pace-based status signals
Tags	No	Colored labels. See below
Steps	Yes, at least one	The concrete pieces of work

If you start editing a goal and close the dialog without saving, Mora asks before discarding your changes.

Why steps are required

Progress is measured as steps completed divided by steps total, so a goal needs at least one step for Mora to show progress on it.

Tags

Tags are colored labels you put on goals, such as Growth, Delivery, or Onboarding. A goal can have more than one.

Choose them from the tag picker when you create or edit a goal. Tags are shared across your whole team, so the same tag means the same thing on everyone’s goals.

Manage the list in Settings → Goal tags. Renaming or recoloring a tag changes it everywhere it appears, and deleting one tells you how many goals use it first.

Colors come from a fixed set.

Find a goal

The Goals page lists every goal on your team, grouped by person, with any that need attention at the top. A panel down the side filters and sorts them:

Filter by	Sort by
Person	Status, worst first
Tag	Target date
Status	Newest

While a filter is active, the “needs attention” group is hidden, so you see only what you filtered for.

Closed goals are in one collapsed section at the bottom.

Select any goal to open its own page, where you can edit the title, description, and steps.

Goal status

Mora works out a goal’s status each time it’s shown. You don’t set it yourself. The first matching row wins:

Status	When
Overdue	It has a target date and that date has passed
At risk	It has a target date and more of the time has passed than work is done, by a wide margin
Stalled	It has steps, it’s more than three weeks old, and nothing has changed in three weeks
On track	Everything else

A new goal never shows a warning. “At risk” only applies after the first quarter of its timeline has passed.

If someone has goals in trouble, their card on the Team page shows how many are off track. There’s no notification and nothing to mark as read — fixing the goal clears it. What needs you

Close a goal

Goals can be closed in three ways:

Closed as	Means
Completed	Finished successfully
Cancelled	Called off deliberately, because priorities changed
Abandoned	Dropped without a decision

Only active goals count as open. Recording which of the three it was is worth the extra step, because a report with three abandoned goals tells you something different from one with three completed goals.

Where goals appear

Where	What you see
Goals	Every goal on your team, filterable by person, tag, and status
A person’s Goals tab	Their goals, active and closed
Meeting mode	Their open goals, editable during the 1:1
The wrap-up	The goals you discussed in that 1:1
Team	A count per person, and how many are off track

Mora reads open goals when suggesting agenda items and writing briefings.
