Setting a goal target to zero

[Lisa_Philpott]

There are instances when we want to set a goal to be zero (i.e. the number of bugs with a new product release). Has anyone figured out a work-around? I sometimes make the goal -1 but then when there is an update the % towards progress is skewed.

Also wanted to share to provide visibility if this is a feature that other users would find helpful.

I was able to do it, so not sure what the problem is?

I think your request is a little like some posts in this topic:

How do you track goals that have a reverse performance metric?

We are currently setting up our organizational goals with Asana and everything has been working great. However, we have one slight issue with the tracking of one goal. The goal is formulated like this: “We would like to grow our total costs by less than x%.” This makes sense, as our company is growing this year and lowering costs is not a realistic target. Our problem is that we have no idea how to set up the goal tracking for this. If we use x% as our target value and 0% as our starting value…

@Bastien_Siebman, I unmarked your solution because I think the issue is there’s no way to use the progress bar indicator in a situation like this, or in the post above.

Thanks,

Larry
