Atlassian Goals Now Supports OKR Tracking in Jira Without a Marketplace App

Atlassian's Goals app, included with all Atlassian Cloud plans including Free and Standard, can now handle objectives and key results without a third-party Marketplace app. The OKR goal types were announced in November 2025 and rolled out from December 2025, with goal types again listed as new in Cloud release notes in September 2026. A hands-on test found that metric-based key results roll up to the objective's progress automatically, while status scores do not and linked Jira work does not move the progress bar. Native Goals is therefore sufficient for teams that accept monthly manual updates but not for those expecting progress to track automatically from closed Jira epics and stories. An organization admin must first enable the Objective goal type before objectives can be created.
