Introduction

Editing objectives in Rhythms ensures OKRs stay relevant as priorities shift. For users transitioning from Viva Goals or starting fresh, this process—including reassigning ownership and updating alignment—maintains clarity and keeps teams focused. The steps below guide you through editing objectives on the Rhythms platform to support organizational goals.

Step 1: Review Existing OKRs

Start from the Rhythms home screen where your existing OKRs are displayed. Choose the objective you’d like to edit when adjustments are needed to reflect current priorities. This opens the OKR detail panel, giving you the ability to update ownership, alignment, or other attributes.

Step 2: Update Objective Details

Take a look at the edit options including changing the owner, team, time period, description, and alignment with other objectives—modify these fields directly in the panel to match evolving priorities and ensure broader goal connectivity.

Step 3: Reassign Ownership

As an example, you can change an objective's owner when responsibilities shift or a new lead is better suited to drive it forward. Reassigning ownership keeps the right people accountable and ensures that objectives are reflective of current priorities.

Step 4: Real-Time Updates

Changes are immediately reflected in the main panel as soon as edits are made, ensuring transparency across the the team.

Step 5: Adjust Team or Other Fields

Similarly, you can change the team, time period, description, or other fields when the objective’s scope or audience shifts, like moving it from Alphonso Gaming to Sales. Adjusting the team ensures visibility to the right group—update the team field to reassign it accordingly.

Step 6: Verify Visibility Changes

The objective will no longer be visible in the view for the team Alphonso Gaming after the team change. Navigate to the pinned Sales view to see the updated objective and ensure proper alignment.

Conclusion

Keeping objectives updated and aligned with the right people and teams is key to driving success and maintaining focus. You’ve now learned how to edit objectives in Rhythms, offering users an enhanced way to maintain their OKRs.
