Data Elements in Team Compass

Here are the different types of data available for use in Team Compass.

Quarterly Objectives (OKRs)

OKR stands for Objectives and Key Results. You can set quarterly and annual OKRs in Team Compass.

  • Objective –The Objective (O) is qualitative, and highlights what area is to be improved and focused on.
    • Key Results – Key Results (KRs) are quantitative, measurable outcomes under the Objective, and define how it will be known if the Objective is achieved.

Projects

A Project is any block of work that is continuous or takes longer than a week. Projects can belong directly under Quarterly Objectives, or be added as independent Projects which are not tied to Quarterly Objectives.

Weekly Items allow users to share their weekly activities with the company. Weekly Items are divided into four categories:

1. Weekly Planning

  • Plans
  • Progress
  • Problems

5-Point Ratings
