The first question it answers

“Does our planned work support the strategy?” waytrk answers it from the links and dates your teams record.

waytrk · first screen after sign-inDoes our planned work support the strategy?
Describe this picture
  • Is any work planned for this Objective? Yes. Two Initiatives are linked to it. Whether they are enough is for the Objective's owner to judge. waytrk asks this of every Objective in your plan.
  • Is any work planned for this Objective? No. No Initiative is linked to “Win service contracts in two new regions”, so nothing in the plan delivers it.
  • What is this Initiative for? Nobody can tell. “Job costing report” isn't linked to any Objective, so the plan doesn't say which part of the strategy it serves. Link it, or check it belongs in the plan.
  • Can “Contract renewal reminders” start on 10 Jan 2028? No. It needs the customer records clean-up finished first. That finishes on 28 Jan 2028, 18 days after it is due to start. The two pieces of work serve different Objectives, so the clash is easy to miss.
  • Put together, does the planned work support the strategy? Not all of it. Three things to look at: 1 “Win service contracts in two new regions” has no supporting work. 2 “Job costing report” isn't linked to an Objective. 3 “Contract renewal reminders” is planned to start 18 days before the customer records clean-up it needs is finished. waytrk runs this check across your whole plan, from the links and dates your teams record, and shows the answer on the first screen people see when they sign in.
  • Work that must be done anyway, such as lathe replacement, is Run work: it is never counted as a gap.
