## Important information for upgrading Goal Framework for SPM to Xanadu {#goal-framework-for-spm-rn__goal-framework-for-spm-rn-upgrade-info}

After upgrading to Goal Framework for SPM v2.3.0, run the Migrate BreakdownInterval To Checkinfrequency scheduled job. This scheduled job migrates the existing values in the Review frequency and Breakdown interval fields to the Check-in frequency field in the target records. For more information on how these values are migrated for targets with
different values, see [Target breakdowns migration](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=target-breakdowns-migration&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-it-business-management&ft:locale=en-US).{#goal-framework-for-spm-rn__goal-framework-for-spm-rn-upgrade-info-1}

## New in the Xanadu release {#goal-framework-for-spm-rn__goal-framework-for-spm-rn-new-features}

[Enhanced target breakdowns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=target-breakdowns-gf&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-it-business-management&ft:locale=en-US)
:   Create Daily, Weekly, or Monthly target breakdowns according to how often you want to update and track the progress of the target. The target breakdowns are created based on the value selected in the Check-in frequency field. For example, if you select Monthly in the Check-in frequency field for a target spanning a year, then 12 monthly target breakdowns are created.

## UI changes {#goal-framework-for-spm-rn__goal-framework-for-spm-rn-ui-changes}
