Sub-Key Results

A Sub-key result or SKR is a child card of a KR and comes at the bottom of the hierarchy of the objective- KR-SKR.  You can link an SKR to any card type in a project that has the percent progress field on it so that you can track the progress of the card type and link it to the SKR.

You can link your SKR to all the projects in which you are a team member. Linking SKR with card types helps you align them with the project’s long-term goals.
