How does Yaktivity work? How is it calculated?

This article aims to provide an overview of what 'Yaktivity' is and how it is calculated.

For team leaders, your Yaktivity can be found on your team dashboard, it helps provide visibility of the consistency of your activity delivery over time. It compares the number of required activities you need to complete against the activities you have actually completed. This is measured over a rolling 3-month period to provide a clear view of the consistency of the teams activity.

How Yaktivity is calculated:

  1. Required Activities: YakTrak aggregates all the required activities for your team members, including coaching sessions, one-on-ones, or other job-specific activities. Additionally, it includes any meetings you need to complete, all within their defined cadence (e.g., weekly, fortnightly).
  2. Completed Activities: The system tracks the number of valid activities that have been completed within the same period.
  3. Calculate Yaktivity Percentage: The Yaktivity score is then calculated as a percentage by dividing the completed activities by the total required activities for the last 3 months. This percentage gives you visibility of how consistently key activities are being completed.

In total, there are 102 required activities over the rolling 3-month period. If 51 of these activities have been completed, your Yaktivity score would be:

Yaktivity = (51/102​) × 100 = 50%

The higher the percentage, the more consistent you have been in completing your required activities. A steady Yaktivity score indicates strong delivery consistency over time, ensuring all your key activities are addressed.
