Does the Goals feature have a future?

Carlos Garcia September 22, 2025

My organization is starting to track OKRs and other more losely defined goals for Product Management.

 

In Principle the "Goals" feature at Atlassian Home does just what we want in essence, but it still feels way too immature as a feature. Some examples include:

  1. There are no automations, nor API access to manage goals programatically and updates.
  2. The support for goals @ "Plans" (a.k.a. "Advanced Roadmaps") is rather rudimentary (for example, Goal hierarchy is ignored when grouping things by goal)
  3. Linking with Jira items is still rather clunky.
  4. Navigating nested goals is hard, unless you always go back to the "home" page. For example, on the "child goals" in the sidebar you cannot see assignees or timeframes.
  5. Learnings, Risks and Decisions live in isolation, and are not shown in e.g. the CSV exports
  6. Better exports or better visualization alternatives for various reporting and planning contexts could be very helpful.

We could live with the current state for a few months, provided we knew that there will be constant improvements... but at the same time, I can barely find any plans for Goals in the Cloud Roadmap. 

Knowing that this product is not being monetized independently or as part of some premium package, and lacking any evidence on planned improvements, I'm extremely hesitant to pour all my OKR planning, and teach my POs and stakeholders to use this tool. Can anyone at Atlassian shed some light regarding what to expect with the future development (or lack thereof) for Goals please?
