As features that are linked to goals and initiatives are complete, the progress of that goal / initiative should be updated based on the number of features linked and the number of those in progress, complete, etc.
Great news! It is now possible to track progress on goals, initiatives, releases, release phases, master features, and features. The percent completed can be entered manually or automatically calculated based on related records and can be visualized using progress bars on roadmaps.
Check out the blog post for more details.
I agree, and I'd love to see this implemented.
100% agree! Only Releases appear to have this functionality. Manually guessing how done an item is, is so The Old Way. I love how the Portfolio view shows the release timeline, with the release bars showing progress automatically as a function of their child items' done-ness.
Please extend this auto-progress feature to Initiatives and Features! (I think there's something already existing in Features but it's tied to to-dos? Is that right? Regardless it's never been useful for our configuration of Aha.)
