Individual objective records may describe individual business objectives and/or identify sets of work unit records and/or project records that support the individual business objectives.
Individual sets of objective records may be defined by an objective record hierarchy. An objective record hierarchy may convey individual positions of objective records (and their corresponding business objectives) in the objective record hierarchy. By way of non-limiting illustration, a position may specify one or more of an objective record being superior to one or more other objective records, an objective record being subordinate to one or more other objective records, and/or other information. As a result, individual objective records may be subordinate and/or superior to other individual objective records. For example, the objective records may further include a second objective record. The first objective record and the second objective record may be organized by a first objective record hierarchy specifying that the second objective record is subordinate to the first objective record.
An objective record may define a business objective comprising a progress towards fulfillment, and a subordinate objective record may define a business objective comprising a subordinate progress towards fulfillment to the subordinate business objective. An objective record hierarchy may define a relationship between objective records.
