What is Goal Setting?

Goal setting means establishing specific, measurable objectives a product or feature should achieve within a given time frame. Clear goals give a team a shared target to design and prioritize around, instead of relying on subjective opinions about what to build. Goals set here typically connect to broader business metrics and OKRs used later in planning.
