Add custom fields to projects and goals

Every company has their own unique language helping them to define it’s identity and culture. Being able to use your own vocabulary is important when communicating about projects and goals to make them really feel like your own.

You can use custom fields to capture specific pieces of information that default fields just don’t cover. With custom fields your admins can build a unique vocabulary for your organization, ensuring consistent and comprehensive communication about projects and goals.
