Tutorial — Recording Outcomes

What This Tool Is For

How to capture the results a goal produced — separate from the activity it took — so reviews discuss delivery, not effort.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Step 1 — When something real ships (a launch, a certification, a measurable improvement), record it as an outcome: what was delivered, the date, and which goal and project it advances.

Step 2 — Write outcomes as facts, not adjectives: "EU data residency live for all customers" beats "great progress on EU".

Step 3 — Link every outcome to its goal — the goal page then tells a complete story: budget, spend, and what actually came out.

Step 4 — Review the outcome list at period end as the company's "what shipped" record; it is the antidote to activity theater.

Real-World Example

Scenario: At the half-year review, the Launch in EU goal page shows $13,100 spent against $12,900 budget — and three linked outcomes: data residency live (April 12), EU payment methods live (May 20), first EU customer signed (June 2). The conversation isn't "what did we do all spring?" but "we bought these three results for $13,100 — was it worth it, and what next?" That's the entire purpose of the tool.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• One outcome per real result; ten micro-outcomes per goal is journaling, not outcome tracking.
• Date outcomes by when they became true, not when someone remembered to record them.
• An expensive goal with zero outcomes by mid-period is the most important signal this tool produces — escalate it.
