# Set and track goals

_Set goals for your people, link them to a Key Area, and log progress over time._

Goals keep what people are working toward in the same place as what they are measured on. You can link a goal to a Key Area from the person's framework.

## Steps

1. Open Goals from the sidebar, under the Development section.
2. In New Goal, search for the employee. Optionally pick a Key Area from their framework to link the goal to.
3. Add a title, an optional description and a target date, then choose Add Goal.
4. Log progress over time as the goal moves forward.

> **Tip**
>
> Linking a goal to a Key Area ties day-to-day work back to the competency it develops.
