The Split Target feature allows users to divide a target into smaller time intervals within an OKR period. For instance, if a Key Result needs to have a different target for each month within a Quarterly OKR period, the Split Target feature can be utilized to set a distinct target for each month.
In an Annual Objective Period, the Key Result target can be divided into monthly or quarterly intervals. Meanwhile, for Quarterly Objective Periods, the Key Result can be divided into weekly or monthly intervals.
