Atlassian Goals | Setting permission nse

Question

Hi all,

We started using Atlassian goals in one department and found them very useful. From July, we’d like to roll them out to all departments, but I have a few questions:

1. Can we restrict goal visibility by department and allow view/edit access only to specific people (e.g., by email)?

2. If I create a parent goal with sub-goals, why isn’t the parent goal’s completion % updated automatically?

3. We use weighting for goals (e.g., 20%). Is it possible for a goal that reaches 100% to contribute 20% rather than 100% to the overall result?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Heyho Arkadiusz,

Thanks for the quick response!

May I ask you when this goal-level permission will be rolled out? Since we would need it until the end of June:)

Best,

Nurkhon

Hello @nurkhon_akhmedov

Atlassian is currently rolling out goal-level permissions (Early Access) via the Share button. For tracking, parent goals can now roll up from sub-goals via the progress bar cog icon, but they cannot roll up from both success measures and sub-goals simultaneously. Also, keep in mind that custom weighting isn't supported, progress averages equally by default.

Before your July launch, I highly recommend piloting this with a single department to ensure these native features and rollup behaviors align with your governance needs.

Here couple lectures for you 😉:
