Goals, aligned.
Top-down and bottom-up.

Aspen tracks progress automatically from work signals and feeds outcomes back into 1:1s and reviews, so goals and impact stay top of mind.

How it works

Set, align, track, feed back. Goals that move with the work.

Goals in Aspen aren't a document. They're a living layer connecting company outcomes to personal progress, updated by the work itself.

04 — Feed back

Goal outcomes feed reviews and 1:1s.

When 1:1 prep generates, Aspen surfaces goal progress and what's blocking. When review time comes, goals show up in the draft with their outcomes and evidence. Goals are proof of impact, not vague and disconnected from the business.

Why this matters

Goals usually die in February. Aspen keeps them alive.

The usual outcome

Set, forgotten, scrambled.

  • Goals set in a doc nobody opens after week two.
  • Personal goals disconnected from anything bigger.
  • Manual quarterly status updates eat days of work.
  • Reviews can't reference goals because nobody remembers them.
  • When priorities shift, goals stay frozen and become irrelevant.
With Aspen

Set, aligned, alive.

  • Goals live in Slack alongside the work that advances them.
  • Every personal goal ladders to a team and company outcome.
  • Progress updates automatically from wins, notes, shipped work, and more.
  • Reviews draft straight from goal outcomes and evidence.
  • Reshape goals as the work reshapes — no forced lock-in.
Questions

Common questions about Goals.

How are goals different in Aspen?

Goals in Aspen live in Slack, where work actually happens. Company goals get set at the top, personal goals align up to them, and Aspen updates progress automatically from real work signals, not from quarterly status meetings nobody remembers.

Do I need to run OKRs?

No. Aspen works with whatever framework you use: OKRs, KPIs, milestones, or just outcome goals. The structure is light: set a goal, tie it to a parent if relevant, let Aspen track progress.

How does Aspen track progress automatically?

Aspen watches the signals already moving through Slack: wins shared, feedback exchanged, 1:1 notes, status updates. It connects those moments back to the goals they advance and updates progress. You can manually adjust anytime.

Can goals roll up across the org?

Yes. Personal goals ladder up to team goals, team goals to function goals, function goals to company goals. At every level, Aspen shows how individual progress contributes to the broader picture.

How do goals show up in reviews?

Goal outcomes feed directly into review drafts. When Aspen writes the first pass, it pulls from the goals an employee owned, their progress, and the evidence behind it. Goals stop being a separate process and become the spine of performance conversations.

What if my work changes mid-quarter?

Update the goal. Aspen treats goals as living things, not frozen contracts. Reframe scope, change priorities, retire what's no longer relevant. The system rolls with the work, not the other way around.
