In our cascading goal configuration, you have the option to include contributors when creating or editing a goal.
What is a Contributor?
A contributor is someone who directly impacts the results or completion of a goal but is not primarily responsible for it. You can assign as many contributors as needed to a goal.
Examples of Contributors:
Someone actively involved in executing tasks related to the goal.
Individuals providing essential support or resources directly linked to goal achievement.
Benefits of Assigning Contributors:
Enhanced Collaboration: contributors can actively engage in goal progress, fostering a sense of shared ownership.
Transparent Communication: By assigning contributors, you ensure relevant team members stay informed about updates and changes to the goal.
Streamlined Accountability: Clear identification of contributors facilitates accountability for progress and results.
