5. Teams check in to keep everyone updated

Goal check-ins help everyone stay updated on the progress made. Check-ins are an important ritual in your OKR program. Goal owners update goal progress and flag if the goal is on track, behind, or at risk.

Comments and reactions to all initiatives, goals, and key results allow discussions to happen in context. That way you go back and find key decisions made.
