Understanding progress calculation in Beam.

Let’s say you have a goal, with one numeric key result and four completed/non-completed key results. Each completed/non-completed key result would contribute to 20% of the completion of the goal, and the key numeric result itself would also contribute 20% to the total completion.

Here’s the nitty-gritty calculation:

• We have 5 items that are contributing to the progress of the goal - each contributes 20% to the total progress.

• One key result is measured by complete/not complete. That key result is complete. This key result contributes 100% of 20% to the goal OR 20%

• The second key result is measured by %, starting value= 0% target value= 100%. That key result is 35% complete. This key result contributes 35% of 20% to the goal OR 7%.

• The third key result is measured by #, starting value 15 target value 50. That key result is currently at 42. Progress is 42-15=27. The total progress needed is 50-15=35. This key result is 77% complete (27/35=77%). Ultimately, this key result contributes 77% of 20% to the goal OR 15%.

• One numeric key result is 75% complete. This key result contributes 75% of 20% to the goal OR 15%.

• The final key result is the currency which is 10% complete. This key result contributes 10% of 20% to the goal OR 2%.

• 20%+7%+15%+15%+2%= 59% total progress for the goal.
