Viewing and Editing Backlog Goal or Objective Details

The Backlog Goals or Objectives details page provides a single place to view all information about the objective, including all of its attributes, relationships to assigned work items, links, conversations, and change history.

Estimate and Progress on the Backlog Goal or Objectives details page indicate total values independent of the global context filter (aka project or planning level selector). Therefore these values may differ from what you see in the Backlog Goal or Objectives - which does honor the global context filter.
