Aligning a parent goal ensures that your team or individual goals contribute to higher-level organizational objectives. ThriveSparrow provides multiple ways to align goals, whether it’s to an org-level goal or another parent goal.

Aligning a Goal to a Parent or Org-Level Goal

  1. Navigate to Goals → My Goals → Quickly add goals and create goals.
  2. Hover over the goal you want to align and click the Align icon.

Once aligned, you will be able to see the aligned goals which are aligned to Org goal here in the example.

Tip: To align more goals to the same parent goal, repeat the process for each additional goal.

Another way to align goals is by using Supporting Goals:

  1. Create a new goal or select an existing goal.
  2. Click Tab (or select Create Supporting Goal) to add supporting goals.
  3. Click the icon on the right to open your full list of goals.

 Best Practice

  • Use bulk alignment when linking multiple team or individual goals to a single parent or org goal.
  • Regularly review your goal hierarchy to ensure alignment with top-level objectives.
