How do I run an OKR check-in?
Check-ins can be made weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, depending on your organization's needs and the pace of your projects.
For this purpose, we can use the Comment section under each OKR.
At the scheduled time, the OKR owner or team lead can initiate the check-in by posting a comment in the dedicated space.
The comment should include at least the following elements:
The progress made since the last check-in.
Any challenges or obstacles encountered.
Next steps and actions planned.
For example:
Key Result: Increase website traffic by 20%
Progress: We've seen a 5% increase in traffic since the last check-in.
Challenges: The recent Google algorithm update affected our rankings.
Next steps: We'll optimize our content for the new algorithm and increase our social media marketing efforts.
You can also use the @Mention feature to notify your team members within the comment.
To foster collaboration, you can encourage team members to respond to the check-in with updates, insights, and suggestions, making everyone informed and engaged.
As the comment thread grows over time, it becomes a valuable record of the progress of the OKR.
Overall, using comments for OKR check-ins is a convenient way to maintain transparency, alignment, and engagement within your organization.
It provides a structured and documented way to track progress and make informed decisions to achieve your objectives.
