FAQPage Schema
How do I track quarterly Rocks and ensure alignment with my 1-Year Plan?

Track quarterly Rocks by defining a single owner per Rock, setting measurable outcomes, and enforcing guardrail checks against your 1-Year Plan. The system manages milestones and quarter-end due dates to keep leadership teams aligned and focused on execution.

What are quarterly Rocks and how do they drive execution for leadership teams?

Quarterly Rocks are specific, measurable goals assigned to individual owners to focus team effort over a quarter. They drive execution by limiting each person to 3-7 Rocks, requiring concrete milestones, and producing a binary completion scorecard at quarter-end.

How do I set up and assign Rocks with clear ownership and milestones?

Set up Rocks by defining a title, designating a single owner, selecting a target quarter, and outlining milestones. Save the Rock as a markdown file under data/rocks/YYYY-QN/ to ensure proper tracking and alignment within the repository.

Can I use checklists instead of structured milestones to track Rock progress?

Yes, you can use both structured milestones and markdown checklists to track Rock progress. This flexibility allows teams to reflect progress and document blockers effectively throughout the quarter while maintaining clear ownership.

How does end-of-quarter scoring work for Rocks?

End-of-quarter scoring applies a clear, binary completion or dropped status to each Rock. It generates a scorecard based on whether the owner achieved the concrete measurable outcome by the quarter-end due date.

What are the limitations on assigning Rocks to team members?

The system enforces strict ownership constraints: each Rock must have exactly one owner, and each person can only be assigned 3-7 Rocks per quarter. All Rocks must also have a quarter-end due date to pass guardrail checks.
