    Hi kosuke_sakai ,

    ‘Due date’ is a specific date by which you aim to achieve a particular milestone or status for that indicator. It is not necessarily the final target date for your overall goal, but rather a checkpoint to help you monitor progress towards that goal.

     

    The key in each of your situations is to use the due date as a tool for regular check-ins and progress tracking:
    YTD Revenue

    You can set the due date to the end of each fiscal month. This allows you to track whether cumulative revenue is meeting the monthly milestones you set at the beginning of the year.

    Customer Acquisition

    You can set the due date to the beginning of each week to measure the number of customers acquired each week. This helps track weekly performance against your constant target value.

    Backlog

    Consider setting deadlines based on review cycles. For example, if you plan to review your backlog every fortnight, set the cutoff date accordingly to ensure that you are consistently monitoring trends.
