Goals at risk

Overview

Finding out a goal is off track when it’s too late to fix is every manager’s nightmare. This preset alerts you the moment goals start slipping so you can intervene while there’s still time to recover.

What this is for

This preset solves the early warning problem for goal management. Goals don’t fail suddenly, they slip gradually. A team marks a goal as “at risk” in their weekly update, but unless you’re monitoring every single goal page, you miss it. By the time the issue comes up in a meeting, you’re scrambling to salvage something that’s been trending wrong for weeks.

The Goals at risk preset watches all goals you have access to and flags any that are slipping. Every Monday, you get a summary of every goal marked as at-risk or off-track, along with explanations of what’s blocking progress. You can jump in to help while there’s still time to get things back on track instead of learning about problems too late to fix them.

Who should use this

Engineering managers overseeing multiple teams who can’t manually check every goal’s status. You’ll get early alerts when projects start to slip so you can reallocate resources or remove blockers.

Program managers tracking cross-team initiatives where delays in one area cascade to others. You’ll spot upstream problems before they block downstream work.

Department heads responsible for quarterly objectives who need to know which goals won’t hit their targets. You’ll have time to adjust plans or reset expectations with leadership instead of reporting bad news at the last minute.

The prompt

Summarize all incomplete goals that are currently 'at risk' or 'off track', with a brief explanation of the challenges for each.
