New to Mooncamp

Previously, you would manage your teams from your sidebar. With the introduction of new features like archiving teams, assigning team ownership, and arranging teams, teams now have their own home in the settings area. This new central place makes it much easier to create teams, manage your organizational structure, and add members and owners to your teams.

Organizations constantly change: departments restructure, teams merge, and projects end. So what do you do with outdated teams in Mooncamp?

You now have the option to archive a team. This removes it from your sidebar, but all associated goals and dashboards remain accessible.

Alternatively, you can delete the team along with all its goals - the choice is yours.

Teams now have owners with additional rights in their teamspace. The main benefit: they can add members to their team!

Previously, only admins could assign users to teams, which could be overwhelming in larger organizations. Now, team owners can manage this themselves, making administration much easier.

You can now align and reorder your teams easily by dragging and dropping.

You can now quickly apply filters and sorts by clicking on the column header in a table view.

Views let you and your team slice and dice data however you need. Now, they’re just one click away — access different views with tabs at the top of each database. You can also sort the view tabs to your liking simply by dragging and dropping.

This new and much-requested feature allows automatic inclusion of a user’s goals in their check-ins, based on specific user properties such as “Owner” or “Contributor.” This automation eliminates the need for manual entry of goals, although users retain the ability to edit these goals in their check-ins as needed.

To activate this feature, users with the appropriate permissions can navigate to Check-ins > Templates, edit a check-in template, and enable the toggle for dynamic goal insertion, as shown in the video below.

Previously, when you added goals to your check-ins, they could appear in any order, such as Key Results appearing above Objectives. That didn’t make much sense. Now, all goals added to your check-ins are automatically pre-sorted according to your goals hierarchy.

Additionally, you now have the option to manually sort the goals in your check-ins to your liking.

Mooncamp is now fully collaborative! What does that mean?

Previously, when you were collaborating on the same page within Mooncamp, you had to reload the page to see the changes of your teammates. Frustrating! With real-time collaboration, you now immediately see any changes that are made to your goals, check-ins, dashboards, properties, or any other element or page you can think of. Even your reactions to check-ins or comments are updated in real-time 💯

P.S. Aside from a better user experience (e.g., when working together on a planning space), on the technical side, this change came with a new setup that allows us to release future features faster.

In an effort to provide greater clarity, we rearranged a few menu items. We moved the Planning feature to the first level to make it more accessible and pulled the Dashboards feature into the Tools section. The Trash bin for goals is now located at the bottom of the sidebar.

We are currently working on a concept for enhanced team spaces and simplified access management. This sidebar modification is just the first step towards achieving better clarity and structure. Stay tuned!

You can now customize your goal statuses by renaming them, adding new statuses, and assigning scores.

Additionally, goal statuses are now divided into Active and Closed goals. Active goals are those that you are still working on, while closed goals are ones that have been completed or closed out. By default, you can close goals by marking them as “Achieved,” “Partial,” “Missed,” or “Dropped” (in case you decide to stop pursuing them). Of course, you can also define your own “Closed” statuses. Note that closed goals can still be edited if needed.

You can now duplicate your custom dashboards as well as the individual content cards they contain. By using an existing dashboard or content card as a template, you can streamline the process of creating and adjusting new odashboards.

The first version of custom dashboards is here!

Custom dashboards can be used for anything. Here are just a few of many use cases:

• Company Cockpit: An executive summary encapsulating the company’s vision, mission, and values, as well as top-level KPIs and overall OKR progress.
• Quarterly Business Review (QBR): An in-depth analysis of quarterly achievements, growth, challenges, strategic initiatives, as well as OKR highlights and lowlights.
• Weekly Management Report: A report that highlights key accomplishments, challenges, and focus areas for the week, aiding in short-term decision-making and planning.
• Personal Dashboard: A tailored view featuring individual OKRs, your check-ins, personal notes, relevant files, and quick links to your team members public profiles.
• Department Overview: A comprehensive snapshot of a department’s mission, key metrics, goals, team members, and other possible reports, like OKR leaderboards.

Head over to the new Insights section and start building your dashboards now 🚀

P.S. This is just the start: In the future, even more features, report types and use cases will be available! If you have suggestions for new insights or features that would make custom dashboards more valuable to you, do let us know by using the feedback button in the upper right corner of the screen 😍

We recently added new options to quickly add goals. You can now choose to either add all goals from your last check-in or all goals where you have been mentioned in a property (such as Owner, Contributor, etc.).

Say goodbye to that feeling of panic when you accidentally delete a goal. You can now restore deleted goals from a trash folder located at the bottom of the sidebar. From there, you can also choose to permanently delete a goal if you wish.

If you’re on the Pro or Enterprise plan, you now have access to one of our most anticipated features: the goal tree view. Here are a few of the many ways you can use it:

• Use the goal tree view as a drawing board to map out all your strategic pillars, focus areas, goals, and initiatives in a hierarchical view.
• Give everyone a high-level overview of your company’s strategy and the alignment of your goals and OKRs.
• Zoom in on OKR sets of certain departments or focus areas.
• Quickly discover isolated goals and align them under the correct parent goal.

You can also create and edit goals directly from the goal tree view or rearrange them via drag and drop.

This is only the beginning! We actively listen to our customers and can’t wait to hear your ideas and suggestions for improving the new goal tree. If you like or dislike something, have ideas for additional goal tree features, or how we can improve it, we encourage you to use the feedback function at the bottom of the page and send all your brilliant ideas and feedback our way 😍.

We have made some improvements to the sidebar: The first thing you might notice is that your personal Home view can now be found at the top of the sidebar for better visibility. In the near future, the Home view will receive an update that makes it more powerful and useful (once we have released our new “Custom Pages” and “Custom Dashboards” feature).

Another improvement is that you can now quickly access different views of your goals directly from the sidebar by clicking on the arrow next to team spaces. Lastly, “My workspace” is now called “Spaces” 🪐.

With inline editing you can now directly edit aligned items on the goal detail page, providing a faster and more efficient way to manage your goals.

This feature is part of our preparation work for the upcoming goal tree feature, which will allow you to visualize and manage the relationships between your goals in a tree view.

We are pleased to introduce a new feature that allows you to edit the content of your goals inline. Now you can quickly and easily modify your goals without having to open the goal detail page.

With this improvement, your check-in and goal update notifications will now come with the check-in message and goal updates included. This allows you to see all the important details regarding your check-ins and goal progress directly in your emails.
