What is an Objective Card?

A Near-term Strategic Context Card, like an Objective, bridges the gap between long-term vision and actual execution work. These represent the tactical focus areas your team is pursuing in the current time period (typically quarterly or bi-annually).

Popular Terms:

  • Objective (Default in Vistaly)
  • Initiative
  • Narrative
  • Strategy

If you utilize a goal setting framework like OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), the Near-term strategic context in that framework is the Objective component.

Pro Tip 💡: Depending on the questions answered during onboarding, Near-term Strategic Context cards may be disabled by default. You can enabled that at any time in Card Settings.

Enabling the Objective Card

Depending on selections during onboarding, the Objective Card may be disabled by default. Enable this card type in Card Settings within your workspace administration panel.
