Within Enterprise Agile Planning, define PI-level or sprint level objectives or associate work items with enterprise goals.

## Iteration goals {#iteration-goals-in-eap__section_u22_dbb_3bc}

During planning interval (PI) or sprint planning, create functional goals for your team detailing what you plan to accomplish for the current iteration. Depending on your EAP configuration and team structure, you can create goals at the planning interval level or sprint level from the Planning board tab of a team.

To learn how to create iteration goals in EAP, see [Create iteration goals for a PI or sprint in EAP](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/VhX9W90N7RxU7EGcs2Vs0g "Create iteration goals for your Agile teams to highlight the overall objectives to be accomplished for a planning interval or sprint.").

## Work item goals {#iteration-goals-in-eap__section_vgr_dbb_3bc}

Establish a relationship between work items (Epic, Capability, Feature, or Story) with the portfolio-level or enterprise-level goals and OKRs. When goals are added to work items, the teams working on these items have greater
visibility into the value that their work would contribute to.

Using the Primary goal field of the work item details, goals can be added to work items individually.

Product managers, team leads, or team members can also view their work distribution with respect to goals associated in the Work item distribution report of the dashboards.
