Follow focus areas and goals

Following a focus area or goal ensures you get the latest updates and signals on how items are progressing. This increases the likelihood that any follower can always know the latest progress on items they care about.

What happens when you follow?

All the Atlassian app items that you follow will show up in the feeds on Atlassian Home. In addition, you’ll also get a monthly email digest for focus areas and goals you follow along with updates in Slack or Microsoft Teams if your admin has connected those apps.

How to follow focus areas and goals

There are several ways to follow focus areas and goals and have their updates appear in your personalized feeds:

Automatic follow

You are automatically added as a follower if you are the owner of a focus area or goal.

Explicit follow

You can follow individual focus areas and goals in a few places:

  • Select Follow from the All focus areas or All goals tabs

  • Select + (Add a follower) from the right sidebar when viewing the details of a focus area or goal

More information about goal-specific features can be found here.
