# Objective

> Objectives are **Near-term Goal cards** that qualitatively describe the progress you want to make in the coming months/quarters/year.

## What is an Objective Card?

*Qualitatitive* near-term goal cards, like an Objective, help bridge the gap between long-term vision and actual execution work by *describing in words* the 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.

<Info>
  Depending on the questions answered during onboarding, qualitative goal cards may be disabled by default. You can [enabled them](/documentation/core-concepts/card-types/overview#adjusting-card-type-language) at any time in Card Settings.
