What is a deviation limit?  

The default threshold for alerts and nudging. By default, the system sets both positive and negative deviation limits to 20. This means that you can be 20% behind or ahead of a specific initiative without any reactions from the system. 

IMPORTANT: Although a 20% deviation is suitable for most initiatives, it isn’t always appropriate for Key Performance Indicators where a 20 % variation from the target would be cause for alarm.  

You can change deviation limits when you create or edit an initiative.
