# Work with objectives

You can use the planning_info entity to work with objectives, which are used to define and track high-level goals.

## Overview

Objectives can be defined separately for each combination of release and milestone, sprint, program, and team. To enable objectives, you must define one or more user-defined-fields (UDFs) for the Objectives entity.

For details, see Create release objectives.
