Create a Group Goal

Group goals allow cross-functional teams and sub-departments to share visibility to a specific goal. With group goal type, Lattice helps teams meet where they are and set goals at the appropriate level. 

• The Goals page
• The Goal creation page

Before you start

Only admins can create and manage groups; However, all users will be able to create group goals for users in the system. 

Group goals do not automatically assign all members of the group as goal owners. Group type and owners are independent. Only goal owners will be notified when a group goal is published and will be responsible for editing and adding progress to the goal.

What is a public versus private group goal?

Goal visibility is set during the goal creation process under Visibility.

• A public group goal is visible to everyone within Lattice from within the Company page.
• A private to selected group goal is only visible to a specifically selected group within the Explore page. You can add additional groups if necessary.
