Team Objectives
Your team's OKRs in one place — set goals, track key results, and keep everyone aligned on what matters most.
What is it?
Team Objectives is where your organization's goals live. It uses the OKR framework (Objectives and Key Results) to give everyone visibility into what the team is working toward. Goals can be nested into hierarchies — parent objectives with child key results — and assigned to team members with due dates.
An Objective is the goal you want to achieve (qualitative). Key Results are the measurable outcomes that tell you if you got there. Branco supports this hierarchy natively — create an objective, then add key results as sub-items.
How it works
- 👤 Employee
- 👤 Manager
- 🛠️ Administrator
As an employee, Team Objectives gives you visibility into what your team is working toward and where your work fits in:
Viewing goals
The main view is a list of all team goals. Each goal shows:
- A checkbox to mark completion
- A due date badge (e.g. "by Feb 26")
- Assignee avatars showing who's responsible
- An expand/collapse toggle to view child key results
Use the "Active only" toggle to filter out completed goals, or the search icon to find a specific objective.
Your assigned goals
Look for goals with your avatar — those are the ones you're responsible for. Expanding a goal shows the key results underneath, so you can track your specific deliverables.
Use the company/team selector dropdown at the top to switch between teams if your organization has multiple. You'll see the goals for whichever team is selected.
As a manager, you can view and create goals for your team:
Creating goals
Click "+ New Goal" to create a new objective. You can:
- Set a title and description
- Assign team members
- Set a due date
- Add child key results as sub-items
Managing existing goals
Each goal row has a "..." context menu for additional actions. You can expand any goal to see and manage its key results, check off completed items, and adjust due dates as priorities shift.
Using goals in 1:1s
Team objectives are a natural anchor for check-in conversations. Before a 1:1:
- Filter to your direct report's assigned goals.
- Check which key results are on track vs. overdue.
- Add relevant talking points to your 1 on 1 agenda.
Use the eye icon to manage goal visibility. This lets you control whether certain goals are visible to the full team or kept to a smaller group.
As an admin, you have full access to create and manage goals across all teams:
Cross-team visibility
Use the company/team selector dropdown to switch between any team in the organization and view or manage their objectives.
Goal hierarchy
Goals support parent-child relationships, so you can create company-level objectives that cascade into team-level key results. This gives you a top-down view of how organizational goals flow into team execution.
OKR framework setup
The OKR structure is one of the steps in the Company Setup wizard. If your team hasn't started using goals yet, make sure this step is complete so the framework is in place.
Goals are created and managed here on the Team Objectives page. The company-wide framework that supports them (mission, values, skills) is configured in Company Settings.
