Hey there,

When everything feels like a priority, Quarterly Targets help you focus on what really matters.

In Align, Quarterly Targets are the backbone of your business scoreboard. They’re your key lagging indicators—the numbers that show how well your strategies are working. Most companies pull their Critical Number straight from this list.

Here’s the catch: more numbers don’t mean more clarity. Take a hard look at your list and whittle it down to the few metrics that truly move the needle. Whether it's Revenue, Gross Margin, or Profit Per Employee, the right number depends on the kind of growth you're aiming for. Pick the one you believe will make the biggest difference this quarter.

Want to customize or connect your metrics with live data? Click the settings wheel next to any Quarterly Target to add integrations or tailor your targets.

And don’t forget—you can bring these numbers front and center in your Dashboards or Monthly All Hands Huddles using a KPI Card. It’s a simple way to make sure everyone sees the progress and stays aligned.
