Understand how theme progress rolls up into objectives.
How rollup works
Progress rolls up in this order:
- Issues — Individual issues are linked to themes
- Themes — Metrics on themes aggregate linked issue data
- Objectives — Metrics on objectives aggregate data from all linked issues (across all themes)
Rollup example
Your objective: “Launch marketplace” with 3 themes:
- Theme A: “Seller onboarding” (5 issues)
- Theme B: “Buyer experience” (4 issues)
- Theme C: “Payments integration” (3 issues)
If you add an “Issue completion” metric on the objective:
- The metric counts all 12 linked issues (across all themes)
- Progress shows: “6/12 issues done = 50%”
Theme-level progress
Click a theme to see:
- Linked issues for that theme only
- Metrics specific to that theme
- Progress toward theme goals
Objective-level progress
Click an objective to see:
- All linked issues (from all themes)
- Objective metrics — aggregated from all issues
- Theme metrics — shown per theme
View progress over time
Metrics track a Target date (quarter and year). As time passes, you can look back to see:
- Historical progress
- Which metrics were met
- Which fell short
Rollup for different metric types
| Type | Rollup | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Issue count | Sum | 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 issues |
| Issue estimation | Sum | 13 + 8 + 5 points = 26 |
| Issue completion | Weighted average | Weighted by issue count |
| Manual | Independent | Each metric tracked separately |
