# Track progress against a goal > Report how a Dailybot goal is going: goals with progress and projects, the is_partial flag, and the open work behind a goal.

Last Updated: 2026-09-25 --- > **Beta** — Plan is in beta. Everything under `/plan` in the web app, the CLI and agent skill commands for projects, goals, boards and tasks, and the `/v1/plan/` public API may change before general availability. Want to try it with your team? Write to **support@dailybot.com**. A goal says what the work is for; the tasks under its projects say how it is going. This recipe builds a goal status report: every goal active today with its progress, then the open work behind one of them.

1. Goals active today, with progress

```bash curl -sS "https://api.dailybot.com/v1/plan/goals/?active_on=$(date +%F)&include=progress,projects" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $DAILYBOT_TOKEN" \ | jq '.results[] | {name, status, done: .progress.completed, total: .progress.total, percent: .progress.percent_complete, partial: .progress.is_partial}' ``` - `active_on` keeps goals whose period covers that date. - `include=progress,projects` adds the progress roll-up and the linked projects. They are absent by default because each is an aggregate; an unknown token is `400 invalid_filter_value`. - `status` is the goal's **declared** status (`on_track`, `at_risk`, …); `progress` is **measured** from tasks. Show both. From the CLI: ```bash dailybot plan goal list --include progress --include projects ```

2. One goal in detail

The detail endpoint always includes `progress`, `projects` and `project_count`: ```bash curl -sS "https://api.dailybot.com/v1/plan/goals/$GOAL/" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $DAILYBOT_TOKEN" ``` ```json { "uuid": "00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000006", "name": "Q4 Roadmap", "status": "on_track", "period_start": "2026-10-01", "period_end": "2026-12-31", "progress": { "total": 40, "completed": 18, "open": 22, "blocked": 3, "overdue": 2, "percent_complete": 45, "is_partial": true }, "project_count": 2, "projects": [ { "uuid": "00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000001", "name": "Platform", "health": "on_track" } ] } ``` From the CLI: ```bash dailybot plan goal get "$GOAL" ```

3. Respect is_partial

**Progress counts only the tasks you can see.** When some of the goal's work sits on boards you cannot see, `is_partial` is `true`. Say so wherever you show the number, for example "45% of the work visible to you". Never present it as the organization's progress.

4. The open work behind the goal

The task list's `goal` filter matches a task's own goal, or the goal it inherits from its project, the same rule the progress roll-up uses, so the list and the numbers agree: ```bash curl -sS "https://api.dailybot.com/v1/plan/tasks/?goal=$GOAL&state=open&sort=due_date" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $DAILYBOT_TOKEN" | jq '.results[] | {key, title, due_date, state: .state.name}' ``` Add `&blocked=true` for what is stuck, or `&due_before=$(date +%F)` for what is late.
