When it’s close to the end of the quarter, you would probably like to close the objectives you’ve been working on for the past 3 months. Closing an objective gives you a chance to review the work done, look at the progress, and finally, grade the objectives to declare if you’ve achieved the goal or how far you were you from achieving it.

Info

In OKRs for Jira, you can close all child sub-objectives and their KRs when closing the parent higher-level objective, so it may be a good idea to start closing your OKRs from the top one that belongs to you.

  1. Open the objective’s page of an objective you’d like to close.

  2. Click on the three-dots menu located on the right side of the screen and choose “Close”.

  3. Choose the final status of the objective. You can change choose from 3 statuses made for closed goals or leave one of the standard ones. This status will also be applied to the unclosed child objectives and KRs5 statuses available when closing an OKR: Success, Incomplete, Failed, Cancelled, Rescheduled. The chosen status will be also applied to all open sub-objectives and KRs. To set a different final status for the sub-items of the objective, you need to close them earlier.

    This description will be applied to this objective only. You can edit the descriptions of final updates for all of the child sub-objectives and KRs laterafter you close the objective.

  5. Grade the objective you’re closing and its children.sub-items
    Grading happens on a 0-1 scale, where you assess how well did the work go. Typically it’s 0 for nothing done at all, 0.3- 0.5 for something small achieved, 0.6-0.9 for almost reaching the target value, and 1 for completing the goal. We suggest the grade based on the progress, but as you may have a scale of your own, so the value can be changed.
