Do
Progress nobody has to type in.
Goals know their projects. Projects know their tasks. Close the last task and the project moves, the goal moves, and the number on the leadership dashboard was never a number anyone maintained by hand.
A task reaches Done. The project's bar rises. The goal hits 100%.
The whole project on one page
Most companies keep a project in five places: the tracker, the doc, the channel, the calendar and somebody's head. Fora keeps it in one, and the five things become tabs on the same page.
- Status, priority, due date, progress and members in the header
- Tabs for Feed, Tasks, Meetings, Chat and Files
- Every doc, goal and meeting it touches, listed as a relation
- One page to open when you're asked “where are we on this?”

A board that behaves
Nothing here will surprise anyone who has used a tracker. That's the intent — the board should be boring and fast. The part that isn't ordinary is that a task can be created straight out of the message that asked for it, and keeps the receipt.
- List and kanban, with drag-and-drop between columns
- A side-peek editor, so opening a task doesn't lose the board
- Multiple assignees, and subtasks with their own owners and dates
- File attachments, and a link back to whatever created the task
Goals that cascade, and roll up
A goal in most tools is a slide that goes stale between quarters. A goal in Fora is wired to the tasks that move it, so it's as current as the work — and you can click from the number down to the person doing something about it.
- Company goals break into team goals, with key results underneath
- Progress rolls up automatically from the work below it
- Each goal page shows its projects, its tasks and its discussion
- No status update meeting to find out where a number came from

Questions
Is this trying to be Jira?
How does progress actually roll up?
Can a task belong to more than one project?
