4. Progress constraints

  1. Progress of child targets directly affect progress of a parent target.
    Formula: Sum of the child targets' progress / Quantity of the child targets.
    (for this reason, progress of a Key Result directly affects progress of a parent Objective).

  2. Progress of an Initiative doesn’t affect progress of a Key Result/Objective

  3. Progress of a Milestone doesn’t affect progress of a Key Result/Objective
