Team target in detail
Individual goals suit the already motivated; team targets draw in everyone else. A team target gives a group a shared number to chase: combined steps over six weeks, an average per member, or a points threshold. Progress appears on team views in the app, and the target can be expressed as a route, so cumulative steps move the team along a journey. Because the goal is shared, a participant's bad day is covered by a teammate's good one, and peer encouragement does work that no notification can. Team targets depend on clean group assignment, so imports and self-join rules need attention before launch. They interact with weekly pace, which tells a team how much it must do each week to arrive on time, and with team leaderboards for comparison between teams. Organisers should choose combined or average deliberately: combined rewards larger teams, average is fairer when team sizes differ.
How Sociana uses it
Team targets are set per group in the step-challenge configuration and read by team views, team leaderboards and journey-progress visuals.
Example
A corporate walking programme gave each team a shared step target with progress shown inside the app.
