Strategy & Goals
Connect goals to the work.
See which priorities your AI effort serves.
Link objectives and key results (OKRs) to tasks, progress, and recorded spend.
More output can still mean less focus.
Strategy may live in a slide deck while tasks, decisions, and AI output sit elsewhere. That makes it hard to see which goal the work serves, what it costs, or where help is needed.

Plan from the result down.
Set the objective, add the needed context, and connect it to the work that must finish.
Start with the objective
Name the result, owner, measures, constraints, and supporting brief. Skip fields that do not help the work.
Break it into owned work
Break a goal into projects and tasks, each with its dependencies, workflows, and artifacts attached.
Let work report progress
Updates from people and connected agents help keep the goal view current. Less copying between tools can leave more time to act on what has changed.

Keep goals useful as the work changes.
Shared goals, constraints, and decisions can help people and agents make better choices. When work slips, review the cause and assign a next step under the same goal.
Give the next person or agent the reason
Keep the objective and key decisions with the assignment. A clearer brief can reduce avoidable questions and rework.
Explore progress and recorded spend
Follow a goal into its projects, tasks, and results. Review the linked cost information to help decide where more effort is useful.
Make changed priorities visible
Review blocked or slipping work, update the goal, and assign a response. Keep the new direction where the team can find it.
Explore the work behind a goal.
Select a goal or project. Review its progress, spend, and next step.
Select a card to open its details.
All goals, people, amounts, and status values here are fictional. Recorded spend depends on the connections in use. Review coverage before comparing teams. Try the example. Changes stay in this demo.
Status gathered from separate tools / Work grouped under the goal
A report needs to reconcile task updates, run records, and spend.
Open the project, task, and run from the same goal to review the record.
Measure whether work supports the plan.
- Share of AI work tied to a goal
- Track how much agent work serves a named goal. Review it alongside progress, recorded spend, and time spent preparing status reports.
We already do OKRs in a spreadsheet or a tracker.
You can keep the tools that work for you. Aestus brings linked tasks, agent work, results, and recorded spend into the goal view, so your team can review the plan alongside the work.
